The eating parlour was located on the ground storey, in the middle of the house, adjacent to the staircase, behind the ante room, and overlooking the internal court. A plan of the house can be found in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 1).

As the house was demolished in 1862, and this ceiling was not illustrated in the Works, it is not known if the eating parlour ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's extant design.
