About First Floor Restaurant
100 Standing / Reception
70 Seated
The First Floor Restaurant offers one of those rare spaces where original character meets modern comfort, perfect for celebrations that deserve something beyond the ordinary. Step into this atmospheric room where exposed brick walls and weathered wooden beams tell the story of the old paper mill, while striped carpeting and carefully chosen furnishings bring contemporary warmth to your event. Natural light pours through the generous windows that line the walls, treating your guests to views of narrowboats gliding along the Grand Union Canal below. We've found this creates brilliant moments during wedding receptions when the evening light catches the water, or adds energy to daytime birthday parties and corporate events. The space comfortably seats up to 100 guests, or accommodates 120 for standing receptions, giving you flexibility in how you want your celebration to flow. Our private bar means your party keeps its own rhythm, with dedicated service throughout your event. The wooden furniture can be configured for banquet-style dining or arranged more casually, depending on whether you're planning a formal wedding breakfast or relaxed birthday gathering. We work with you to create the right layout for your specific celebration. The terrace access proves particularly popular when weather permits, letting guests spill outside for drinks while watching canal life drift by. For corporate events, the combination of characterful surroundings and practical amenities creates an environment that feels special yet professional. Getting here couldn't be simpler with Apsley station right next door, making it convenient for London guests or those traveling from further north. Local parking and bus routes add to the accessibility. Our experienced team understands what makes celebrations work, from milestone birthdays to wedding receptions, and we're here to help shape your event into something memorable.
