About this space

The Secret Room is our private dining room hidden away from public view. The door disguised as a painting of our beloved Hettie G. Watson opens into a beautifully spacious and florally decorated private bar with standing space for up to 40 guests. We also have the option for private dining at a maximum of 30 guests. (3 tables of 10).

Along with the exclusive use of room, you would have your own private bar and a bar tender who will look after you making drinks and talking you through the menu. The bar is predominantly a cocktail bar but we do serve a selection of wines and spirits aswell as bottled lager and ciders.

Great location, great building, good cleanliness, and good value for money for room hire cost. The food was very good, the staff we dealt with were polite and helpful at all times. Is overall a lovely venue and has helpful staff.

The service was slower than I expected, especially the food service times. We ended up waiting over an hour for the morning pastries, as I hadn't been aware that the kitchen opens at 10 and the ovens would not be switched on until then, this meant late pastries at 10.45 and then lunch felt a little too early at 12.30. The coffee and tea was not replenished as often as I would have liked either. Now that I know what the food service times are I will be sure to plan any future sessions with that in mind.

Space, layout, size and decor of room was perfect for a group of up to 25 persons. The Buffet food was hot and delicious and guests loved the variety and taste and was good value. Dedicated bar-tender was a definite plus point and guests were able to get the drinks they wanted and without too much delay. Perfect venue for a private function and location was excellent too. Loved the novelty of the Secret Room and importantly hidden away with no gatecrashers. The Bar-tender and Daisy get a special mention as they were brilliant on the night and catered for almost all our needs and quick tidy up and keeping us informed throughout the evening of timings and delays to manage situations. Overall, no huge hitches!

The music was not to our taste, would have preferred private DJ to play our own music or at least able to play our own CD mixes for our private event. Would have been nice to have a cake stand and cake knife provided by venue for special celebrations. More seats would have been nice, I think 6-8 seats were not enough for a group of up to 24 people.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room itself was even nicer than it looked in the pictures.

The food was slightly overpriced.
