About this space

The pool room on the ground floor can be booked for groups of 20-90. The space includes exclusive use of our Pool Table and also some board games too!

The space is conveniently located next to our bar, and we have an in-house DJ playing most Friday nights. You can also pre-order some of our metre pizzas, finger food boards and refreshing drinks packages for your guests to share.

The minimum pre-order and hire fee depends on the season and event type.

Really friendly hosts and organisers. The layout was organised as I had requested. The pre-ordered food and drinks were excellent. They were very helpful with holding the birthday cake until the right time. Overall excellent service and semi private area for booking.

The Heist Bank Pool Room was a lovely semi private setting, where we had the best time playing pool and board games, as well as being able to chat and have a great time. We were allowed to put birthday banners and balloons and have a cake. Zac and Caroline were also lovely to deal with and helped me pick an incredible venue for a very affordable price
No fault of any of the staff, but people standing close to our area, so we had to basically be segregated in the pool room. We had the outside space as well, but we didn't get to use it as people were too close to us in that pool room. But this is a very minor thing and we enjoyed our time so much

Great venue, staff were helpful in the leadup to the event and on the day for anything we needed. Accessible venue and in a nice location. Excellent value for money to book, very easy to book online. Great options at the bar, for drinks and food.
No fault of the venue, just advice for those considering renting the Pool Room. It's great and you get the pool table all evening, but there's not too much space around the table, you'll have to move people slightly when you play. We had around 25-30 people and it felt a bit crowded.
