About this space

The Main Floor is a Dining Room in The Pony and presents a casual, pub-style dining space defined by timber finishes and informal seating.

Design: The room has reclaimed wood floors, exposed ceiling beams and low pendant lighting. The layout places fixed timber tables, enclosed booths and high stools across a compact floorplate for an unpolished, functional pub interior.

Features: The room includes a full service bar, multiple wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, a PA system and in‑room Wi‑Fi. The space provides a step-free guest entrance and a mix of bar-side seating and booths for flexible layouts.

Ideal for: Groups of friends and social crowds seeking an informal, social standing reception or a pub-style seated meal.

What guests say: The space's rustic wood interior and plentiful screens are frequently mentioned in reviews, and the room is often described as lively and noisy at peak times.
