Sixteen behind the curtain

Two ways to have your own night here: a semi-private side of the room for up to sixteen, or the whole room and bar for up to forty.

Most parties are not big

The private events question we are asked most often is some version of "are we too small for this?" Almost always the answer is no.

Parties start at ten guests. Below that we will simply give you a good table and treat it like any other booking, which for eight people is usually the better night anyway.

The two shapes

Semi-private, up to sixteen. One side of the room curtains off. You get your own space and your own service, and the rest of the restaurant carries on around you. It works for a birthday, a shower, a team dinner, the kind of evening that wants to feel separate without feeling sealed off.

Full buy-out, up to forty. The room and the bar are yours. Nobody walks in behind you, the music is set to what your evening needs, and the bar is staffed for your group rather than shared with a Friday crowd.

What actually makes it good

The number of guests matters far less than telling us what kind of night it is.

A retirement dinner and a thirtieth birthday can have identical headcounts and want opposite rooms. One wants to be able to hear a speech from the far end of the table. The other wants the music up and people standing. We can build either, but not if we find out at seven o'clock.

So the useful email tells us the date, roughly how many, and one sentence about what the evening is for. The rest we can work out together.

Timing

Weekend evenings in December go early, and that is not a sales line, it is just December. For most other months a few weeks is comfortable.

Tell us the date and roughly how many, and we will build the evening around it.
