About this space

The Fable is a restaurant characterised by vivid fairy‑tale décor that gives the interiors a theatrical, storybook character.

Design: The interior centres on a long marble‑topped bar, timber flooring and rows of pendant lamps that provide even, low‑glare lighting. The back wall uses mirrored shelving and wine displays to reflect light and add visual depth.

Features: The venue provides a staffed bar serving cocktails, beer, wine and spirits; a kitchen supplies small plates and late‑night options. The space includes a PA system and speakers, a dance area, permission to bring an external DJ, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and outdoor seating.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or informal seated dining that emphasises drinks and conversation will find the layout well suited to their needs.

What sets it apart: The venue is arranged across multiple levels, creating separate event areas that can be used independently or combined for larger hires.

What guests say: The space has a warm atmosphere and attentive front‑of‑house staff.
