About this space

The Back of The Pub is a semi-private area in The Lauriston pub defined by large rear windows that fill the room with natural daylight.

Design: The interior pairs dark-painted walls and timber floors with leather-upholstered chairs and wooden tables. The seating runs and low pendant lights create an intimate, inward-facing layout with clear sightlines toward the bar area.

Features: The space includes free Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted TV and direct access to the venue bar for drink service. The space provides a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets on the same level. The furniture is a mix of fixed bench seating and loose tables and chairs that can be rearranged on request.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social seated meal or an informal standing reception in a semi-private pub room.

What sets it apart: A ceiling-mounted projector is installed for presentations or film screenings, enabling AV use without bringing external equipment.

The minimum spend depends on the day of the week and the time of the year (depending on the festive season and major sporting events etc). We will always agree the minimum spend in advance.Under 18s can only be on the premises until 7pm, both inside and out. Children will be expected to be well behaved and not run through the premises during your visit for their own safety.
Decorations are welcome, providing that they are not permanent and are easy to clean up (so no plastic confetti). Any decorations must be removed at the end of the reservation.
Abuse of any kind to our staff will not be tolerated and you will be removed from the premises and barred reentry. We reserve the right to refuse entry. Management will remove any guest from the venue in accordance with their responsibility under the licensing act.
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the premises including vaping.

Engagement Drinks · 50 guests · October 2025
We hosted our engagement drinks at The Lauriston and it was just what we wanted - a balance of chill, chic pub vibes that still felt special. The staff were so lovely and atmosphere was great for what we wanted.
