After 4pm, The Room Is Yours
Weekdays from 4pm, weekends any time.
Deschlers runs as a café during the working day. From 4pm on weekdays it closes to the public, and at weekends it's available any time, so a booking gives you the room, the bar and the kitchen to yourselves.
It's 150m² of open-plan space with marble and timber finishes and a fully licensed bar, licensed until midnight. One room rather than a set of smaller ones, so your guests stay together and you set the timing, the food and how the bar runs.
Your Occasion. Your People. Your Way.
A flexible, private space shaped around the way you want to celebrate.
