Two levels, four ways to sit a group

Petite is a two-level European bistro and wine bar on East Street, with leather banquettes along the windows, a curved marble bar and a glass chandelier over the main room. It is a restaurant first, which is what makes it work for a group.

Take a booth, a long table through the main room, the private mezzanine, or the whole venue. Chef’s banquets are built for the table, and gluten free, vegetarian and vegan are handled as standard.

Part of the restaurant becomes yours for the evening.

The spaces

Four spaces to choose from

Petite runs across two levels on the corner of East and Ann. The mezzanine sits open above the main dining room, so a private group keeps its own space without being cut off from the buzz downstairs. You take as much of the building as the occasion needs, and no more.

The Booths

Small groups · main dining room

Deep leather booths along the window line, set apart from the main floor without being closed off. The easiest way to give a small group its own corner of the room.

Best for birthday dinners, team catch-ups and anything under ten people.

Semi-exclusiveLong tables running through Petite's main dining room beneath the mezzanine

Long Tables, Main Room

Groups through the main floor

We run long tables through the main dining room for larger groups who want the energy of a full restaurant rather than a room of their own. Your party has its own stretch of the floor while the restaurant carries on around it.

Best for milestone birthdays and work dinners that should not feel formal.

The Private Mezzanine

A dedicated private dining level

Our upstairs private dining space, with its own long table and a view back down over the restaurant. It was designed to stay connected to the room below, so your group gets genuine privacy and still feels like it is out somewhere.

Best for private dinners, corporate hosting and celebrations that want a door of their own.

Up to 120 guestsPetite in full, showing the mezzanine, the curved marble bar and the main dining room

Exclusive Use

120 standing · 90 seated

Both levels, the bar and the open kitchen, entirely yours. We build the menu and the wine list with you from scratch rather than handing over a package, so the night runs the way you want it to.

Best for launches, weddings, Christmas parties and full company events.

The drinks

A 500 bottle list, and someone to navigate it

Drinks are built to the brief rather than sold as a package. Tell us the budget and the crowd, and we will put together something that fits both.

  • Beer and approachable wine for groups that want it simple and well priced
  • Access to a 500 plus bottle premium list for a wine focused night
  • Wine matched to the banquet, chosen alongside the kitchen
  • Built to your budget rather than sold as a fixed package

Petite, Snack Man and Happy Boy sit side by side on East Street under the same team. That matters when you are planning: one enquiry reaches all three, so a group of six and a group of two hundred can both be looked after without starting the search again.

Happy Boy functions

Booking more than one at once is genuinely common here, whether that is drinks at Snack Man before dinner at Petite, or splitting a very large group across two rooms on the same night. Mention it in your enquiry and we will coordinate it.

How it works

Three steps, and we do the organising

Step 01

Send the details

Date, rough numbers, and what the occasion is. The more you tell us, the more specific we can be first time round rather than trading emails.

Step 02

We come back with options

Within one to two business days you will have the right space, the banquet that suits the group, and a drinks approach that fits the budget.

Step 03

Turn up

Our team takes the stress out of organising so you can just enjoy yourself, which is rather the point of booking a restaurant in the first place.

Before you ask

Function FAQs

Groups of 22 and under can book straight through our online booking system without going through this form. For anything larger than 22, or for any private or exclusive use of a space, send the enquiry form and we will come back to you within one to two business days.

It is its own level with its own table, up the stairs from the main floor, so your group is not sharing space with other diners. It was deliberately designed to stay open to the room below rather than being sealed off, so you keep the atmosphere of the restaurant. If you need a fully closed room with a door, exclusive use of the venue is the better fit and we will tell you so.

Groups eat banquet style. The kitchen designs each banquet around the table and what is good at the time rather than printing a fixed set menu, so you are not choosing from a list but you are also not getting the same meal as the group last week. Tell us about the table in your enquiry and the kitchen will work to it.

Yes, all of them. Because the banquet is built by the kitchen rather than pulled from a set menu, dietaries are handled as part of designing the meal instead of as a substitution on the night. Let us know the numbers and the requirements when you enquire.

Exclusive use is quoted per event rather than sold at a flat hire fee, because it depends on the date, the day of the week, the guest numbers and what you want from the kitchen and the wine list. Send through your date and numbers and you will get a real figure back, not a starting-from price.

Tell us about the occasion
