About this space

Our Lower Arch is the perfect space for your next celebration and is very popular for Engagement Parties and Birthdays.

Although shown in a restaurant set up the furniture is all moveable so you can make it your own.

Our Private Room which joins onto our Lower Arch can also be used for a quieter chill-out space, games room with beer pong tables (which we can supply for £25 per game) or simply a cloakroom.

We have a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights from 9pm playing a mix of commercial R&B, Pop, House, 80s, 90s and 00s Club Classics until 1.30am when we close.

Our Lower Arch can be set up for a theatre-style presentation or awards ceremony for up to 60 people and comes with AV including a screen with projector, 2 cordless mics and PA system.
