Our restaurant is available for exclusive hire for up to 50 guests, alongside a versatile bar space ideal for larger gatherings.

As General Manager of Curtains Up, you will lead a passionate and established team, with the support of a talented kitchen brigade. There is plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on the pub, from developing the food and drink offering to growing theatre events and entertainment, maximising the potential of our spaces and creating a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
