The gold and chocolate brown tones mixed with the dark wooden reclaimed floor are lit by two large chandeliers that are covered in velvet patch work bringing together all the tones of the room. Individual lamp shades light the sides and the furniture has a classic contemporary look and feel creating a warm environment in a large open space. It is the perfect venue for parties, seated breakfast, lunch or dinner, drinks receptions, weddings, showcases, exhibitions and much more.

The Garden room is a bright and colourful room that has two unique areas and its own fabulous bar which leads directly on to our Banksy Garden. This area can make a wonderful space for a smaller party or a place where
you can create your own dinner party.
The space is a favourite for disco’s and BBQ’s and is also used for Christmas parties and informal company get together.
With its own bathroom, cloakroom and bar this is the perfect area something contained and private.

Banksy Garden Outdoor Space 30 50 - POA POA

In June 2010, graffiti artist Banksy ‘struck’ in yet another night-time raid in the area and the artist silhouetted against the garden wall by the light set up in the beer garden.
The garden is a special, private, quiet spot lit up at night and a real sun trap by day. There is a section under cover and a section that is not, this space is ideal
for BBQ’s, garden parties and tea parties. We will also let out the garden exclusively for romantic dinners for two where you will be served by a dedicated member of staff allocated solely for that purpose. It also doubles up as the overflow area for our Garden Room in the summer months.
