About this space

Our Semi-Private Drinks Area is the perfect spot for relaxed group gatherings, after-work socials, and birthday celebrations. Set just off the main bar, the space offers a little extra privacy while still keeping you connected to the lively pub atmosphere — ideal if you want your event to feel buzzing but still have your own place to gather.

This cosy corner includes a mix of high tables and comfortable seating, with quick access to the bar’s wide selection of craft beers, wines, cocktails, and premium spirits. It’s a great choice for casual celebrations, team drinks, leaving dos, or pre-dinner meet-ups.

The area can be personalised for your group, whether you’re hosting a small get-together or a larger social event. Our kitchen team can also provide sharing boards, snacks, and light bites to keep your guests happy during the night.

Warm, atmospheric, and easy to book, the Semi-Private Drinks Area offers the ideal balance of exclusivity and pub energy — perfect for anyone looking for a laid-back yet special place to celebrate.
