👍👍 Abseiling supervisor course with Gavin was absolutely epic, quite likely the most enjoyable training course I have attended. Gavin's calm and relaxed approach and immense knowledge made for a highly worthwhile experience. Couldn't recommend Peak High more. I'll be back

👍👍 The food and service is beyond competent, they do deliveries and have an accommodating menu, the pricing is too reasonable for the deliverables, but I'm not complaining 😝. We need to keep such great business models going, they literally serve an experience, not just a dish...Enjoy❤
