About this space

Our full private hire gives you exclusive access to the entire venue. It includes the indoor bar and both outdoor terrace spaces. This option is ideal for large-scale events where you want the whole place to yourself. Host a corporate gathering, celebration, or wedding!

The layout combines a fully covered pavilion-style bar with riverside views, built-in stage, and flexible seating. Two open-air terraces are also available for a change of pace. We provide indoor-outdoor flow, a central bar, AV setup, and options for bespoke food and drink packages.
