About this space

Our vibrant semi-private area on the ground floor is ideal for lively celebrations and social gatherings, offering the perfect balance of atmosphere and exclusivity. The space comfortably accommodates up to 60 guests, with a flexible mix of standing areas and seating.

Positioned next to the main bar, guests can enjoy easy access to drinks and the buzz of the venue, while still having a dedicated area to call their own. You’re welcome to decorate the space to suit your event and bring your own cake, making it easy to add personal touches to your celebration.

Located close to our resident DJ, who plays on Saturdays from 21:00 onwards, the area is perfect for those looking to soak up the energy of the night and enjoy great music as the evening unfolds. With disabled access available, the space is accessible and welcoming to all guests.

This semi-private area is an excellent choice for birthdays, after-work drinks, and informal celebrations where atmosphere is key.

A fantastic area to hire. We had our engagement party here. All drinks provided before the start of the party and we also ordered food beforehand which was fantastic when it arrived at the time we arranged. Thank you very much to all the staff for a lovely evening.

Birthday Dinner · 50 guests · June 2025

Smooth responsive communication prior to the event. On the night everything was ready and on time. Guests loved the food. Great cocktails and DJ played great music.

Food is a bit expensive but it’s tasty and canapés were substantial.

40th Birthday Party · 25 guests · September 2023

The best party ever. The organisation was seamless; everything was perfect and fell into place precisely as I requested. The dedicated barman was attentive, bringing out the drinks as needed and informing me of the stock situation so that I could assess the needs. It never felt like I was being pressured to order more and only being updated as requested so that I could make informed decisions. The food was incredible; all 31 guests still dream of the mac and cheese bowls. Tonya, the planner, was responsive to all my needs and questions and was never pushy. The venue is beautiful, the private room is stunning, and there is no need for additional decorations. It was set up to a standard beyond my expectations. I cannot believe how smoothly the whole process and evening went; I cannot find a single fault. Thank you for making my 40th so perfect and fun!
