About this space

The Boat Room Dining is a Dining Room in The Abbey Tavern centred on an inverted boat hull suspended above the seating that gives the space a distinctive focal point.

Design: The interior pairs an exposed stone wall and honey-toned timber floor with dark-painted sections and lantern-style ceiling lights. The room is long and narrow, arranged as parallel rows of wooden tables and upholstered chairs that follow the space's proportions.

Features: The room has a built-in PA system and speakers and permits own music or a bring-your-own DJ. The space provides Wi-Fi and accessible toilets, and the freestanding furniture can be rearranged for seated dining or a simple performance area.

Ideal for: Groups looking for relaxed, social, seated dining where background or live music can accompany the meal.

What guests say: The space accommodates dietary requirements and serves hearty, well-regarded pub dishes. The room is served by helpful, friendly staff who manage dining and performances attentively.
