About this space

The Elstern Social is a contemporary café occupying a single open-plan ground-floor space; its defining quality is an adaptable layout that converts easily between seated dining and social formats.

Design: The interior is pared-back and modern, featuring tiled floors, simple wooden tables and black woven chairs, pale walls and large windows that admit abundant daylight.

Features: The venue provides air conditioning and Wi-Fi, plus step-free guest access, accessible toilets and wheelchair circulation. Café-style tables and chairs can be rearranged to suit different layouts.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social setting that mixes seated dining and standing receptions will find the space suits informal, flexible gatherings.

What sets it apart: A cleared central area and an integrated PA system allow hosts to create a dance area and run private playlists onsite.
