Loved how flexible the staff were the entire booking! The staff were attentive and patient for what could have been quite a stressful reservationb

It would have been great to have some sort of cloak room, and a more efficient way of getting the pre-ordered food out to everyone

FAQ

The venue's booths provide both seating and standing options. High tables can be moved into The Drawing Room or Left Mezzanine, but lower tables work better because high tables take up considerable space.

The projector may not display clearly when sunlight directly hits The Drawing Room, as the venue is largely glass and the room is at the far end of the ground floor.
