About this space

The Library is a private event space in a restaurant, designed as an intimate lounge for gatherings that value character and comfort. Its distinctive library setting gives the room a residential feel.

Design: Dark timber, arched architectural detailing and upholstered seating create a traditional interior with a polished finish. Warm pendant lighting and softly illuminated shelving add visual depth without making the room feel formal.

Features: The room has Wi-Fi. Natural light enters through the tall windows. Step-free access, wheelchair accessibility and accessible toilets support inclusive use.

Ideal for: Small groups looking for a relaxed, polished setting for conversation-led gatherings and informal socialising.

What sets it apart: Built-in shelving, leather seating and library furnishings give the room a recognisable private-club character rather than a standard function-room layout.

What guests say: The space has clean surroundings and an inviting atmosphere. Its separate seating areas make the setting feel comfortable and well considered.
