About this space

Cucumber Bar & Restaurant is a Function Room in Sea Containers Events centred on a curved, marble-topped bar that serves as the room's focal point.

Design: Pale green tongue-and-groove panelling, patterned stone flooring and an exposed-beam ceiling create a neat, contemporary look. Low pendant lights and light-coloured surfaces keep sightlines open and maintain an uncluttered feel.

Features: The room benefits from natural daylight. A PA system and built-in speakers are available, and the room permits own music and external DJs subject to a noise restriction. The room has air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small corporate or social groups seeking a relaxed, social layout for seated dinners or standing receptions.

What guests say: The space provides elevated city views and an upscale, well-presented interior. The technical provision supports professional sound checks.
