What’s included in the venue hire price?

The private dining room is an enclosed, elegant space seating up to 16 for dining (boardroom style also available), with glass and wood partitions for privacy. Exclusive use is via a minimum spend rather than a room-hire fee, and includes full table set-up and dedicated service.

Does the venue provide catering, or can I bring my own food and drinks?

Catering is provided by Gusto; we’ll work with you on a fixed group menu or tailored selection, with drinks from our bar. External food and drink aren’t allowed except for a celebration cake by arrangement.

Can I decorate or brand the venue for my event?

Personal touches, custom menus, place cards, centrepieces, balloons, or a small roll-up banner are welcome. Please avoid anything that could damage finishes; we’ll help position items appropriately.

Is the venue accessible, and does it have parking or nearby transport links?

The room is on the ground floor with step-free access and accessible facilities. There’s no private parking on Lloyd Street, but pay-and-display bays and several car parks are nearby; St Peter’s Square tram and Oxford Road station are within walking distance.

What is the venue’s pricing structure e.g. minimum spend, dry hire, or package options?

Bookings use a minimum spend, typically around £600–£800 for an evening, depending on date. Your F&B spend counts toward this, with no additional room fee.

We decided to come to Gusto based on a family recommendation and it was sensational! My Grandson had the Duck Leg and it was delicious! I ordered a Carbonara which was beautiful and would like to praise the kitchen for such a high quality experience. Our server Gennaro was very attentive and helpful and made sure we had a great experience. I would thoroughly recommend this to others for a family setting or for couples. Thank you Gusto!!

My family and I had an outstanding night on my mother’s birthday. We were served by Josh, such a friendly and lovely guy. Wonderful service and atmosphere. We even got a birthday dessert which was amazing. We would definitely come back again! Recommended!
