Corporate Functions & Work Drinks Docklands

Clock off. Properly.

A practical Docklands venue for team drinks, client catch-ups, farewells and end-of-year gatherings — without a set menu or a room full of televisions.

Private venue hire beyond regular opening hours.
Available 7am–1am Monday–Saturday and 10am–1am Sunday. Choose an early start, a daytime gathering or a late finish for your corporate event, birthday or private celebration. Enquire for venue hire with your preferred start and finish times.

Build the occasion around your people

No televisions and sensible music levels mean a client conversation or staff farewell does not turn into a shouting match.

Exclusive hire is available when privacy matters, with capacity for up to 97 across the venue.
