About this space

The Ground Floor is a restaurant dining space with a strong connection to the wider room, making it feel open rather than enclosed.

Design: The interior combines Bauhaus-inspired geometry with curved ceilings, pale flooring and dark wall panels. Pendant lighting and warm accents create a polished, contemporary finish.

Features: A full bar provides a dedicated drinks service point. The open kitchen keeps food preparation visible from the dining area.

Ideal for: Small to medium-sized groups looking for a relaxed, sociable setting for a seated meal or informal drinks reception.

What sets it apart: A covered outdoor terrace extends the space beyond the indoor dining area and can be heated in colder weather.

What guests say: The space has a comfortable, well-curated ambience and a warm atmosphere.
