About The Reading Room
100 Standing / Reception
85 Seated
Step into The Reading Room and you'll find yourself in a space where contemporary elegance meets genuine warmth. Rich blue chairs circle sleek wooden tables, while sunlight pours through generous windows, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. The warm wooden floors ground the space beautifully, complementing the thoughtful lighting that shifts from bright and energetic during daytime gatherings to intimate and atmospheric for evening celebrations. We've designed this room to work brilliantly for multiple occasions, accommodating up to 85 seated guests or 100 for standing receptions. The flexible layout means we can arrange intimate table settings for wedding breakfasts, configure the space for corporate presentations, or open it up completely for cocktail parties. Our chic bar area, with its marble countertop and carefully curated spirits collection, becomes a natural focal point during drinks receptions, the backlit shelves creating an inviting glow as evening falls. Food here goes beyond standard event catering. Our award-winning chefs create seasonal modern European menus that genuinely impress, whether you're planning a formal wedding dinner or a relaxed birthday lunch. We cater to all dietary requirements, offering halal, kosher, vegan and gluten-free options without compromising on quality or creativity. The wine list has been carefully selected to complement our cuisine perfectly. Just minutes from Reading station, reaching us couldn't be simpler. The room comes equipped with everything needed for seamless events, from WiFi and projection facilities to PA systems and teleconferencing capabilities. We hold an alcohol licence until 1am, and if you'd prefer to bring your own bottles, we offer BYO with a corkage fee. Guests consistently tell us how the space's memorable décor provides the perfect backdrop for creative meetings and special celebrations alike.
