HAVE YOUR PARTY WITH US!

You can reserve our beautiful side space for your party, with the option of adding our private garden, free of charge.

The indoor area comfortably seats 30+ guests, or plenty more with standing room. The private garden space is divided into a covered heated area with booths (non-smoking) and an uncovered seating area with flexible tables (smoking permitted).

If you would also like to eat you can either place a food pre-order for your guests from our menu, order some plates on the day, or our kitchen can provide a fantastic Mediterranean-inspired buffet to suit your requirements - details below.
