Welcome to The Speakeasy

Tucked away in the original bank vault beneath The Charleston, The Speakeasy is our private dining room with space for up to 10 guests. An intimate, characterful space for the occasions worth doing properly.

Whether you’re marking a milestone birthday, celebrating an anniversary, hosting a corporate lunch or gathering your favourite people for a long, unhurried dinner, The Speakeasy offers something the main restaurant simply can’t: a room that’s entirely yours.

From seasonal small plates to a full dinner, everything is freshly prepared by our kitchen, paired with a drinks list to match the occasion.

Our team are with you from start to finish, making sure every detail lands just right.
