The Black and Grey is a beautifully presented pub with a unique, aesthetically pleasing decor that enhances its appeal as an independent venue.

The interior features a mix of mismatched furniture, accommodating around 40-50 covers, adding to the eclectic charm of the pub. The decor is further enriched with an array of interesting bric-a-brac and well-designed chalkboards, contributing to the boutique pub-restaurant vibe.
