The room can cater for up to 120 formally-seated guests and 200 for canapés and drinks receptions.

This intimate space is richly decorated in a deep, dark blue with a contemporary, hand-crafted solid French oak table and sumptuously upholstered chairs giving a dramatic backdrop to this period room, perfect for private dining for up to 12 guests, or as a VIP area for your main event in Coopers’ Hall.

Feedback

"May I say thank you so much for all your hard work and efforts to making Trafalgar Night such a great success. Everyone who attended has commented on the excellent food, quality of the service and the absolute professionalism of the staff and the fantastic ambience that this created on the night. One of our guests is a coeliac and remarked that her meal was simply delicious."
