Event spaces
The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.
- Private Dining Room: 14 seated
- East Wing: 40 seated
- King Bar Rail: 40 standing
- Private terrace: 64 standing
- Entire restaurant: 128 seated, 200 reception
Capacity
The venue publishes a maximum of 128 seated, 200 standing reception. Those are top figures for an empty room. A dance floor, a stage, a buffet or a photo booth each take space, so plan on fewer guests than the maximum once your layout is drawn.
A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.
Events it hosts
According to its own event pages, the venue hosts weddings, corporate events, holiday parties and private social events.

Planning entertainment here
Private dining rooms suit close-up entertainment: a strolling magician, a caricaturist or a solo musician. Check that there is room for the performer to move between tables without blocking service.
Send every performer’s technical needs to the venue before you book: floor space, ceiling height, power, sound and changing room.
