Whole Venue Hire, St John's Tavern
St John's Tavern is a traditional pub and dining venue defined by a preserved period dining room hung with framed portraits.
Design: The interior pairs dark wood panelling and patterned wallpaper with polished floorboards and low-level lamp lighting. The layout divides into a sequence of narrow dining alcoves and a central circulation corridor, creating a series of semi-private seating pockets.
Features: The venue includes a fitted bar area and multiple connected dining alcoves suitable for flexible layouts. The venue provides a built-in PA system and speakers, a licence to play your own music or bring a DJ, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, plus a step‑free guest entrance and natural light in the front rooms.
Ideal for: Neighbourhood groups and small teams seeking relaxed, seated dinners or informal standing receptions in a characterful pub setting.
What guests say: The dining room is beautiful and characterful, often likened to an old guild hall.
