With its cosy interiors, dedicated event space and tailored festive menus, it’s well suited to celebrating the season with friends, family or colleagues.
The lower bar is available for private hire, accommodating up to 100 guests for seated events. This characterful space features parquet wooden flooring, wood-panelled walls and soft lighting that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Desserts continue the festive theme, with options including sticky toffee Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, dark chocolate pecan pie, apricot panettone bread and butter pudding, and British cheese boards to share. The bar offers a range of hand-pulled ales, lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, making it easy to tailor drinks for your event.
