About this space

The Root is a private Dining Room in Banyan Corn Exchange defined by a secluded, intimate layout centred on a single continuous dining surface.

Design: The room pairs an exposed industrial ceiling and visible ductwork with warm herringbone timber flooring, a textured pebble feature wall and botanical-print wall panels; low, directional pendant lights keep the interior visually contained.

Features: A fixed long timber dining table occupies the centre, accompanied by upholstered high-back chairs and bench seating. Pendant spotlights provide directed illumination. The space includes Wi-Fi and air conditioning for connectivity and comfort.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a seated, sociable and contained private dining experience.

What sets it apart: Two suspended rattan pod chairs provide an unusual, informal seating option within the room.

The room was the perfect size for my baby shower and the staff were so attentive

A cleaner was coming round collecting glasses that people were still drinking from

The room itself is lovely and was a good size for a smaller event

We were advised by this booking agent to book enough canape food for 80% of guests. We did this, and then also had a few people not attend which meant we had enough food booked for 100% of guests.. but there was not enough food at all! There was also a small fruit fly problem which isn’t ideal around food.

Baby Shower · 25 guests · November 2025

The venue was great - both rooms available where lovely atmosphere. We went with the larger for capacity. We didn’t have to do much decorating. Place was easy to find - and parking not too bad. However it is pedestrianised. we would come again - the price for hire was amazing!

Food unfortunately let the event down. Even though the food came out on time it was more warm than hot. And a few requested for changes. For the price we expected a much more high standard quality of food.
