This private dining room combines intimacy with elegance, pairing a generous long table with timeless bentwood seating. Soft, full-height curtains diffuse daylight, creating a calm enclosure ideal for group dining, celebrations or quieter moments away from the bustle of the main venue.

This room elevates the familiar pub dining experience with the sensibility of a modern boutique restaurant. At its centre, the long table establishes a strong sculptural anchor; its subtly rounded edges and stone-look finish bring a sense of crafted refinement without compromising durability or maintenance—key considerations in a high-turnover hospitality environment.

The surrounding palette continues the project’s signature tonal calm. Linen-look curtains wrap the perimeter, bathing the space in diffused natural light while reducing acoustic sharpness. This soft envelope contrasts with the crisp wainscoting in muted olive, a detail repeated across the dining areas to create continuity and visual order.

Seating is provided by dark timber bentwood chairs, specified for their comfort, iconic silhouette and ability to bridge traditional pub character with a contemporary interior. Upholstered seats in a warm neutral tone lighten the composition and complement the stone table surface.

Overhead, a sculptural pendant casts a warm, ambient glow, reinforcing the room’s slower, more intimate rhythm. The carpeted floor deepens the sense of comfort and suppresses noise—an intentional move to ensure large groups can converse without competing with the wider venue atmosphere.

Overall, the space balances practicality with quiet elegance, delivering a private dining environment that feels both elevated and warmly familiar.
