A function room, not a soulless hall
Skip the echoey function hall. Our private Fiesta Room seats 40 with its own sound system and a personal server, and the whole venue hires exclusively for up to 60. A real restaurant with a live kitchen and a bar, not a bare hall for hire.
One venue, every occasion
Birthdays, corporate events, large groups, celebrations and receptions. Whatever the party venue or function room search that brought you here, one enquiry covers it and our team plans the night with you.
Food made for a crowd
Whole rotisserie chickens, sharing platters and bespoke buffets. Portuguese charcoal cooking is party food by design: generous, informal and the reason we are Southampton's #1 on TripAdvisor.

Up to 40 seated in the private function room, up to 60 with exclusive hire of the venue, plus the rooftop terrace seasonally. Tell us your date and numbers for a simple, transparent quote, we work on food and drink rather than heavy room fees.

Can we bring our own decorations and cake?

How far in advance should we book?
Weekends go quickly, especially in summer and the run-up to Christmas. Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable for most dates; for December, book as early as you can.
