About this space

The Front Dining Room is a semi-private space suited to smaller dinners, birthday celebrations, work lunches, presentations, and group catch-ups.

Set just across from the front bar, guests can grab drinks easily while still having their own area for the event. There’s also a TV in the room, which works well for speeches, slideshows, sports, or casual presentations.

The doors can be closed for a bit more privacy, while still keeping the feel of the pub nearby. During winter, the two gas fireplaces make the room feel especially comfortable for long lunches, dinners, and private gatherings.
