About this space

Set within the historic Corn Exchange, the Main Restaurant at Banyan offers a spacious, light-filled setting that balances character with a modern layout.

Tall windows line the walls, filling the room with daylight, while original brickwork and soft contemporary finishes give the space a welcoming, relaxed feel. The open-plan kitchen and south-facing atrium add to the social atmosphere.

This area can seat up to 75 guests or hold up to 120 standing. It works well for large group meals, casual celebrations, or informal networking events. After dining, the space can be adapted into a more relaxed setup for drinks and conversation.

The central location provides easy access to transport links and nearby parking options. Whether guests are gathering for lunch, dinner, or drinks, the space is flexible enough to suit a variety of occasions without feeling formal or overly structured.
