About this space

Design: The room pairs exposed brick and visible timber beams with wooden floors and low-level lamps, creating a compact, informal dining area with clear sightlines along its length.

Features: The room has venue Wi‑Fi and receives natural daylight. The room provides accessible toilets and a step‑free guest entrance. The room uses flexible table-and-chair arrangements and is subject to venue noise restrictions.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, seated meal or a low-key standing reception in a compact, sociable setting.

What sets it apart: The room allows hosts to play their own music, permitting private playlists or a DJ within the venue's sound policy.
