About this space

The Garden Arch at SAMA Bankside, a popular spot for birthday parties, brings a summer feel to the indoor pub. With the private terrace, it is ideal for a sit-down dinner or standing reception.

Our inside Garden Arch on the upper floor is a light airy space with a summer garden feel and is decorated with flowers and fake grass.

It's a great space for your next celebration and is hugely popular for engagement and birthday parties, or a sit-down meal on weekdays, and leads directly outside to our private outside space adding an extension to your company summer party.

On weekends have a DJ on from 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays playing a mix of commercial R&B, Pop, House and Club Classics (Kisstory vibe).

The space is also ideal for company meetings, presentations and away-days and if booked for this comes with projector, screen and flip charts if required.

Our garden arch seats 20 for dinner parties or up to 50 for a standing reception. Dimensions: 4m x 7.5m.
