About this space

The Garden Pods is a Garden space in Frasers made up of individual covered wooden pods that create semi-private outdoor seating.

Design: An informal outdoor arrangement of timber-framed structures, gravel paths and planted borders that sits over lawn; abundant daylight and open sightlines keep the area airy and practical.

Features: A PA system and speakers are available, and organisers may play their own music or bring a DJ subject to the venue's noise restrictions. Step-free guest entrance, wheelchair-accessible routes and accessible toilets are provided. The outdoor setting provides natural daylight and clear circulation between covered seating areas and paths.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or colleagues seeking relaxed, semi-private outdoor seating for informal seated meals or standing socialising.

What guests say: The space is maintained with careful attention to detail and supported by attentive, personalised service; table presentation and event setup are consistently noted for their care.
