Alas, no quiet area in the cafe

Santander implies that there is a quiet place to work in the basement, where the rules say that you should be silent, take phone calls outside, not to disturb others, etc. They also ask you to consume food only bought on the premises, i.e Noa's food. That amounts to about minimum ten pounds if you want to work there many hours per day. However, in the basement there also is some clothes provider shop called Noble Suitor. Today the door of this shop was constantly open into the quiet area where cafe customers were trying to work on their laptops. People, including friends of the man working at the shop coming and going constantly and chatting loudly, the man's small child talking loudly to his dad via Whatsapp on the loudspeaker... I approached a lady at Santander desk with this issue, but she was dismissive, saying that the man was renting the premises and Santander did not care. That means that the quiet area is not available in Noa's. At least I should be able to bring my own food then...

We are genuinely sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience in the Work Café. The downstairs basement area is designated for people who want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the café, where they are less likely to be disturbed. We don’t play music in the basement, and we discourage phone calls, but we can’t guarantee absolute silence. The Noble Suitor run their tailoring business from the basement and understandably need to have their door open to welcome customers.

We believe our barista partners Noa offer great quality food and drinks, but there is absolutely no obligation for you to buy anything. All we ask is that our guests do not consume their own food and drink in the Work Café.

If you need a quiet space, we have four meeting rooms that are available to book for free online. Our team would be happy to assist you.

Kind regards
Work Café team

Excellent presentation space

This is the 3rd time I have done a presentation here and I continue to be amazed by the fabulous business community service that Santander provides. The facilities are all excellent, the support in marketing events is tremendous and the people who attend events here all seem to be relaxed and enjoy the space. The facilities in the meeting rooms are excellent too with top notch video conferencing screens. Highly recommended.

MCALS Coffee morning

We used the space to hold a coffee morning for our service users to meet some of our leadership executives and provide feedback. The entire experience was fantastic. Natalie was great to work with, booking the space was easy, any questions answered straight away. The space is amazing, warm, welcoming. Would highly recommend and will use again.

Great venue- brilliant team!

We recently held an event at the Santander work cafe for the Mooir Vannin Offshore Wind Farm public consultation. Natalie and the team couldn't have been more helpful!! They were on hand during the day to help with set up and making sure we had everything we needed. The venue was beautiful, in a fantastic location and with a brilliant cafe attached. We would definitely use them again!

First Time User Experience!

A very user friendly central work place. This is the first time I have used an internet cafe and the experience was so simple to use. The staff and facilities are just great. I will come back again many times!

Great venue for a networking event

We had a company networking event on the Mezzanine at the Santander Work Cafe and it was a great venue for our event. The Santander team as well as Noa who provided food and drink were great and we had really good feedback from guests too, would definitely host another event there again.

Natalie and her team were just fabulous. Soundology was fortunate enough to host weekly Sound relaxation sessions throughout October in the cosy basement of the Santander Work Cafe. They provided brilliant support with promotion, bookings and set-up for the events. I can't thank them enough for supporting my small business and for providing a great venue from which to share Sound for Well-being. Thank you. Amy

Fantastic venue and would highly recommend

Natalie was fantastic at our initial meet and greet and listened to requirements and made them happen for our pop up session with the Cancer Alliance. The feedback from our service users and the Cancer Alliance was that the venue was one of the best they have seen for an event such as a drop in session

Great place to work away from the office

The Santander Work Cafe is a great space for small to medium events, for working digitally or just meeting people. It has been recently renovated (2023) and this really creates a atmosphere perfect for relaxed modern working. You don't need to be a Santander customer to enjoy this venue and the Noa food and drink is always top notch.
