About this space

Semi-private Space is a Dining Room in a restaurant and provides an intimate, enclosed setting that keeps a group separate from the main dining floor.

Design: The room uses patterned wallpaper and a timber‑slatted ceiling alongside warm, low-level lighting. The furnishing includes soft grey upholstered chairs and compact rectangular proportions that concentrate attention inward.

Features: The space includes a PA system, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning suitable for background music or announcements. The space is supplied with tableware and glassware and is arranged to accommodate family‑style, shared plates. The space is wheelchair accessible and provides access to accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, seated meal focused on shared plates and conversation.

What sets it apart: A long communal table sits beneath a sculptural pendant and faces an exposed brick fireplace, creating a clear focal point for family‑style dining.

What guests say: The space has a welcoming, attractive ambience. The space is occasionally complemented by live jazz evenings that enliven the room.
