About this space

The Lounge is a private lounge in the restaurant Porters, offering moody, modern interiors and low, intimate lighting for secluded dining.

Design: The Lounge has dark painted walls, a neon script sign and a brass multi‑bulb pendant above a long timber dining table; seating is green velvet on a polished concrete floor for a restrained, contemporary look.

Features: The Lounge provides a long communal dining table with upholstered chairs for private meals, pockets of natural light, a step‑free guest entrance and a wheelchair‑accessible layout.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an intimate, seated dinner or a relaxed, social drinks gathering in a private setting.

What sets it apart: An integrated PA system in the lounge allows hosts to play their own music during private events.

What guests say: The lounge is stylish and modern with a dimmed, intimate atmosphere and has been used successfully for private functions.
