Frequently Asked Questions

Get in the loop and scope out our FAQs before you reach out, so your party planning can be a breeze!

The nitty gritty details

Do you offer private dining?

We can accommodate a cosy meal for up to 40 guests in our Melrose Room and up to 80 of your favourite faces in our Bolan Room. Beyond that, things might get a bit snug, and nobody wants to be elbow-to-elbow.

Can I book for drinks and grazing boards?

Absolutely. We excel at hosting casual drinks and nibbles parties – in fact it’s our specialty! Coupled with our stunning riverside views, our drinks and nibbles parties are what party dreams are made of.

Do you require a deposit to secure my booking?

You bet! For all our private hire bookings, we just need a fully refundable £150 deposit to lock in your reservation—consider it a high-five to secure your spot.

Do you require a minimum spend for private hire?

On our busiest days of the week, we  ask for a minimum spend to keep the good times flowing—think of it as our way of ensuring the party vibe stays alive.

Are you doggy friendly?

We’re absolutely doggy-friendly. Because what’s a party without our furry friends? Let’s paw-ty together.
