About this space

Hanging Garden is a dining room in My Neighbours The Dumplings, a plant-filled space lit by coloured lanterns that creates an intimate, secluded setting.

Design: The room features exposed brick and a low ceiling framed by dense greenery and hanging lanterns, producing warm, low-level lighting. The layout arranges low tables and bench seating into compact communal clusters that feel enclosed and cosy.

Features: The space has Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, and it is equipped with in-room PA speakers; hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ subject to the venue's noise restriction. Natural daylight is available during the day and there are power outlets and basic AV connections to support external equipment.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, informal sharing-style dining experience and relaxed socialising around low tables.

What sets it apart: A fixed projection screen and AV hookup permit video or image programming to accompany private hires.

What guests say: The space is atmospheric and transportive, the ambience is relaxed and easy-going, and the staff are friendly and attentive.

FAQ

Yes, you should be able to play your own music. The venue is looking into fixing its sound system; if this is not possible, you are welcome to bring speakers.

Yes. House music usually plays in the restaurant because the hire would cover half the room, with regular tables seated in the other half.
