About this space

Event Space is a Basement in Wheat, Wine & Whisky and defined by a long, low corrugated-metal ceiling that runs the length of the room.

Design: The space is long and narrow, finished in dark timber and exposed brick that create a compact, tucked-in feel. A run of cage-style pendant lights provides focused, low-level illumination and the proportions feel intimate rather than open.

Features: The space has a full-length timber bar with underbar fridges and an open service counter suitable for bar service. A built-in PA system and speakers support own-music and bring-your-own-DJ setups, and a cleared area beyond the bar serves as a dancefloor. Wi-Fi, air conditioning and accessible toilets are available, and a noise restriction applies.

Ideal for: Small groups and local social clubs seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated evening.

What guests say: The space has a welcoming, community-led atmosphere and personable, attentive bar staff.
