About this space

Downstairs Space is a semi-private Event Space in the Wayside Inn defined by a casual, pub-style layout that keeps guests close to the bar and social areas.

Design: Polished timber floors, painted walls with framed prints, and exposed ceiling ducts create a straightforward, unfussy interior. The room combines high stools and wooden dining tables under warm pendant lighting and benefits from natural daylight through large windows.

Features: A bar counter and staffed service sit inside the space alongside a pool table and mixed seating choices for standing or seated use. The room includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, natural light, wheelchair access and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Friend groups or small work teams seeking a relaxed, social reception or an informal seated meal in a pub-style setting.

What sets it apart: An in-room PA system and the option to play your own music give hosts direct control over sound and playlists during private bookings.

What guests say: The space is stylish and welcoming, and the staff are consistently warm and attentive.
