About this space

A Reserved Area is a semi-private lounge area in Trading Route that provides a contained section of the main lounge, giving groups a degree of separation while remaining part of the venue's social atmosphere.

Features: The area includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a PA system for announcements or background music. The space benefits from large windows that admit natural light and it has wheelchair access, accessible toilets and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: This area is ideal for small groups seeking a relaxed, social seated meal or an informal drinks reception within the main lounge.

What guests say: The space has a lively, sociable atmosphere supported by a well-chosen music playlist. The dining area can feel cool at times.
