About this space

The Restaurant is a Dining Room in The Distillery centred on a long wood‑topped bar that runs the length of the room and organises the seating.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick walls and wide timber floorboards beneath a dark‑painted ceiling. The layout uses pendant and track lighting over a mix of freestanding tables and bench seating for a straightforward industrial look.

Features: Natural light enters through large windows and the room allows flexible table layouts. The space provides free Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and level access for wheelchairs. The room can be supported by the venue's catering and bar teams for food and drink.

Ideal for: Small social groups and work teams seeking relaxed, seated dining and casual socialising around a central bar.

What sets it apart: The room features a visible stone pizza oven and open kitchen that produce the venue's wood‑fired pizzas.

What guests say: The space is relaxed and family‑friendly, and the room is associated with prompt, friendly service and canal‑facing window seating.

I recently held a gathering in the private room of the Distillery. Well located with a lovely view of the canal inside a lovely building with a great atmosphere. Staff were very polite and attentive, food was also great. A really good place to hold a private function.
