The venue also provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning in the indoor area, accessible toilets and a step‑free guest entrance, plus a full drinks menu and food service.

Ideal for: The venue suits friend groups and office teams seeking a relaxed, social standing reception with plenty of space for mingling.
