The Restaurant Area at The Starting Gate

About this space

The Restaurant Area is a semi-private dining room within The Starting Gate. The defining quality is its physical separation from the main bar, providing a quieter, contained dining space inside the pub.

Design: The room pairs period oak wall panelling and a deep red ceiling with patterned stone flooring and globe pendant lights. The layout uses fitted banquette seating alongside loose chairs to create varied table arrangements and clear sightlines.

Features: The space includes a large wall-mounted screen, wired and wireless internet and air conditioning. The room receives abundant natural light through full-height glazing and offers movable tables for flexible layouts plus full wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Small groups that want a relaxed, social seated meal or an informal meeting in a quieter corner of a pub.

What sets it apart: The area has direct access to an adjoining outdoor terrace, enabling events to spill outside when the weather permits.
