About this space

The Paddock & Grandstand is a semi-private dining area in The Running Horse characterised by deep leather-lined booths that form an enclosed dining lane separate from the main bar.

Design: The room presents a warm, traditional pub interior of dark timber floors and exposed brick paired with low pendant lamps. The décor features framed equine prints and a modest neon sign, and large windows bring in daylight.

Features: The area includes natural daylight from street-facing windows, air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi. The layout allows furniture to be rearranged to create a small standing or dance area. The space is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or neighbourhood social clubs seeking a relaxed, seated meal or an informal standing reception in a semi-private pub setting.

What guests say: The space has a lively, friendly atmosphere and a dog-friendly environment.
