About this space

The Fish Tank is a Function Room in East Putney Tavern, a mezzanine-style semi-private area that sits above the main floor and is visually separated from the main bar.

Design: The interior uses deep teal-painted walls, a textured low ceiling and warm wooden flooring to create a compact, enclosed room. The room contains a mix of high round tables, wooden stools and upholstered chairs, and a string of exposed bulbs provides low-level, even lighting.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and natural daylight. The seating is flexible with both high and low wooden tables and upholstered chairs, and hosts may play their own music through the room's sound setup.

Ideal for: Local friend groups seeking a relaxed, social space for seated meals or casual standing drinks.

What guests say: The space has a cosy pub vibe and friendly, attentive service. The space becomes lively during sports fixtures, producing an energetic, communal atmosphere.

Staff were so helpful and went out of their way to help us. We put up decorations and bought our own cake which they were fine with. Really appreciate how helpful they were.

We weren't allowed to be seated in Fish Tank as promised. It was just a regular table. The only reason we booked this pub through this website was to have a private or a semi-private pub area.

We had the space at the back of the pub, downstairs leading into the garden. The management and staff made everything so simple and made me completely relax about the whole event! Everything went so smoothly and I had one of the best and most memorable evenings ever. All friends and family loved the venue and I couldn’t fault it whatsoever.

FAQ

The fish tank area is available, with no hiring fees or minimum spending required.

Cake and decorations are welcome; please no confetti.

No. Any device can be plugged into the venue's sound system, so speakers are not needed.

Yes. If you wish to enjoy your own music, we recommend booking the restaurant area, as it is more semi-private and does not overlap with our in-house music.
