Had my 40th birthday here in the upstairs function room. I only found out 3 days before that it could go ahead due to Covid restrictions easing and Dinushi and the team made it all happen with complete… confidence and ease. All the staff I dealt with were so friendly and accommodating. I could not be happier with the Clayton hotel. Dinushi (event manager) made everything run smoothly and was prompt in getting back to me on any queries. The venue has great access and facilities. The function room is a brilliant modern space and doesn’t need much decorating. Canapés were tasty
