Candlelit tables close to the stage

The room

Forty seats, close to the band.

We opened The Vestry in a former chapel hall, kept the old plaster and the good acoustics, and put the stage in the middle so no one sits far away. Order a short plate and a proper cocktail, then let the set carry the night.
