About this space

The Campaign Room is a semi-private dining room inside a historic pub defined by original oak panelling and WWI memorabilia.

Design: The room has a low beamed ceiling with inset light panels, teal-painted upper walls, a patterned carpet and solid wooden dining furniture that presents a traditional, restrained look.

Features: The room provides Wi‑Fi, step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets. The dining layout is adaptable using freestanding tables and chairs, and the room has wall-mounted lighting and clear sightlines into the adjoining space.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a seated, sociable meal in a relaxed, semi-private setting with a traditional pub feel.

What sets it apart: A heavy curtain can be drawn to separate the room from the main bar, allowing partial or full privacy for seated meals.

What guests say: The space is characterful and cosy. The space benefits from attentive, unobtrusive staff service.
