About this space

Cool Carrot is a neighbourhood café and gift shop defined by a relaxed, quirky family-kitchen character.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick and timber furniture with an eclectic mix of chairs and potted plants. Natural light filters through modest windows onto narrow, hand-finished tables, creating an intimate, informal setting.

Features: A café bar serves coffee, cocktails, wine and small plates. A PA system and speakers permit background music or a brought-in DJ, subject to the venue's noise restrictions. Step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and free Wi‑Fi are provided.

Ideal for: Small, informal groups seeking relaxed seated dining or a casual drinks-led reception in a cosy, unpretentious setting.

What sets it apart: A small planted rear terrace provides private outdoor seating for guests when weather allows.

What guests say: The venue consistently receives positive comments for its food and coffee, and service is generally described as pleasant; the garden is frequently mentioned as a popular extra in fine weather.

Birthday Party · 30 guests · April 2026

I had the loveliest time at cool carrot! I hired the space out for my birthday with about twenty guests and it was perfect! Beautiful venue with excellent service and friendly staff! Can’t recommend enough for an intimate gathering I would absolutely hire the space again!

The only thing that would have made it better for me would be having louder music but I respect they consider their neighbours and I’m just being greedy because it was perfect:)
