Overview & Capacity

Time Out Market solves the caterer question by being thirteen caterers at once: chef-led kitchens, three bars and a wine bar inside the Old Power Station on Dock Road, scaling from a 15-seat chef's table through the 148-pax Studio mezzanine to an 800-guest full-market buyout with tasting cards across every vendor. The main hall's built-in stage covers speeches and acoustic sets without a production build. It trades publicly every day, so exclusivity means buying the market out - and contracting early, since one reviewer reports a group booking cancelled late. As a food-led format inside industrial heritage, nothing else in town matches it.
