About this space

The Sapphire Room is a Dining Room in Nags Head, Covent Garden centred on a curved bay of tall windows that fill the space with natural daylight.

Features: The room provides on-site Wi‑Fi and air conditioning and a flexible layout of bar-height counter seating, freestanding dining tables and movable chairs. The room's furnishings can be reconfigured for seated dining or more informal standing arrangements.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social seated meal or an informal standing reception.

What sets it apart: A built-in PA and permission to play your own music allow hosts to run playlists and make announcements from the room's sound system.

What guests say: The space is clean and well maintained, and the staff are polite, knowledgeable and provide quick service.
