About this space

Event Space is a semi-private area in Sidewinder pub, a compact corner of the main room that gives groups a degree of separation while retaining the pub’s eclectic, bohemian character.

Design: The space uses dark-painted walls, timber panelling and patterned carpeting, with low ceilings, pendant and wall lights and bunting that create an eclectic, pub-style interior.

Features: The space has wooden tables and chairs arranged for mixed seating, a wall-mounted TV suitable for sports or presentations, complimentary Wi‑Fi and step‑free access. The space also overlooks a sheltered, festoon-lit outdoor seating area.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social setting for seated meals, informal drinks or shared sport-viewing, favouring a casual and buzzy tone.

What guests say: The space is cosy and characterful with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Attentive staff and the sheltered, festoon-lit outdoor seating area enhance the overall experience.
