What Is Round Booth Seating?
Three Quarter Round Booths
3/4 round booth seating creates an island around a central table. These circular booths work brilliantly as centrepieces in restaurants, hotel dining rooms and clubs – especially positioned under feature lighting or in the middle of a room.
Semi-Circle & Horseshoe Booths
Semi-circular booths and horseshoe banquettes are ideal against a feature wall, in window bays or tucked into alcoves. They wrap around the table so guests feel:
Close enough for easy conversation
Slightly enclosed and private, without blocking the view of the room
They’re perfect for small groups, families and celebrations.
Curved Banquette Runs & Curved Bench Seating
Where a full circle isn’t suitable, we can create curved banquette seating that runs along a wall or around a corner. These curved bench seating sections soften long, straight lines and help:
Break up large spaces
Add visual flow and movement
Make better use of awkward corners or columns
Benefits of Round & Curved Booth Seating
Sociable, Intimate Dining Experience
Round and curved booths keep guests facing each other, making it easier to talk and share food. This makes round booth seating ideal for:
- Birthdays and celebrations
- Family meals
- Groups who want to feel like they have “their own space"
Maximise Awkward or Central Spaces
Round booths are excellent for:
Creating seating around columns or under skylights
Making central islands in large rooms
Using awkward corners, bays or alcoves that don’t work well with straight tables
With careful planning, round booth seating can sometimes increase the number of covers in an area while still feeling comfortable.
Strong Visual Focal Points
A well-designed round banquette becomes an instant focal point in your layout. Combined with a statement table, pendant light or feature wall, circular booths can:
Anchor key zones within your restaurant or bar
Help define different areas (dining, lounge, VIP, etc.)
Reinforce your overall interior concept and brand
Comfort & Acoustic Benefits
Curved and high-back circular booths can also improve:
Acoustic comfort – the wrap-around back can help soften noise
Draught protection – useful near doors and high-traffic routes
The overall feeling of cosiness and enclosure, even in busy venues

Hotels & Clubhouses
In hotels, golf clubs and member clubs, round banquette seating provides:
- Relaxed yet premium seating in bar and lounge areas

Semi-circular booths and circular banquettes work especially well for:
- VIP corners and raised platforms
