About this space

On the first floor of our restaurant, there is a private dining oasis. The Etty Room is decorated with colourful botanical prints and artwork. The artistic feature of the room harmonizes perfectly with the vintage chairs, covered in floral printed fabric.

The Etty Room can accommodate multiple settings: a long table, round ones, and reception! You can choose according to your preferences and amount of guests and we will make it happen!
