Spacious, modern and cosy. Very nice venue to host an event.
We ordered the pastries but I don’t think they’re were much food and variety.

Baby Shower · 30 guests · January 2026 · The Root
The room itself is lovely and was a good size for a smaller event
We were advised by this booking agent to book enough canape food for 80% of guests. We did this, and then also had a few people not attend which meant we had enough food booked for 100% of guests.. but there was not enough food at all! There was also a small fruit fly problem which isn’t ideal around food.
