About this space

The Semi Private Hire is a semi-private area in The Social NQ (Event Space) defined by a long, bench-lined layout that creates an intimate dining and social zone.

Design: The interior pairs a slatted timber feature wall and a dark, exposed ceiling with warm timber tables and leather-backed chairs for a compact, focused space. The floor is polished concrete and low-level track lighting keeps the area visually contained.

Features: An integrated PA system and built-in speakers are available for announcements or background music. A ceiling-mounted projector and on-site Wi‑Fi support presentations or audio-visual playback. Step-free guest entrance, wheelchair-accessible layout and accessible toilets are provided, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, semi-private setting for relaxed seated dining or informal standing receptions.

What guests say: The space has comfortable, well-spaced seating that helps solo visitors feel at ease. The space is complemented by attentive, friendly staff.
