What to Expect on the Night

We’ll tailor the evening to your preferences to create the perfect atmosphere for your group.
The space can be arranged with up to 20 seats (best for larger book clubs, but leaves no standing room), or a combination of seating and standing for a more relaxed social setting.

Please note that we are not a restaurant and do not have tables. Our setup is designed for a wine bar and cheese board experience, comfortable, intimate, and conversational, ideal for mingling, small bites, and private gatherings.

Share musical preferences in advance to set the tone, we’ll dim the lights and can arrange faux candlelight ambiance for a warm, memorable evening.

Every detail, from the setup of chairs to the presentation of food and wine, will be taken care of before your arrival, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy your time with your guests.

Please Note

A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date and will be applied to your final spend, covering the cheeseboard costs. Minimum spend of £300 applies to all private hire bookings. In the event of cancellation, you may re-book for a later date or forfeit your deposit.

We have limited dates per month available for private hire due to our own store event schedule.

Once you’ve paid your deposit, your space is confirmed, and we’ll email you to coordinate further details and confirm your exact event time.
