About this space

The Cwtch is a private dining room in the City Arms pub that provides a quieter, segregated space within the main bar and is set up for seated dining and small-group socialising.

Design: The room features pale tongue-and-groove panelling and a muted two-tone palette, with carpeted floors and dark wood tables paired with leather-look dining chairs. The fittings include industrial-style pendant lights and framed monochrome photographs, producing a restrained, functional interior.

Features: The room has a built-in PA system and speakers and allows own music or a bring-your-own DJ. The space provides Wi-Fi, air conditioning and natural light from sash windows with blinds. The layout uses freestanding tables and upholstered chairs that can be rearranged, and the venue provides accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, seated meal or a low-key social gathering in a quieter pub setting.

What sets it apart: A wall-mounted flat-screen TV suitable for showing live sports or presentations.

What guests say: The space is relaxed and spotlessly kept. The room is welcoming and maintained to a high standard.
