MC
Booked 1st Floor Private Bar at The Burlington Arms
The venue was ideal for my birthday party. Being in central London meant that most could get there easily and the venue were really good at communicating throughout. We requested food and on of my guest said it was the best scotch egg they ever had. That being said the venue was really amenable to decorating and music. And the barman was great making it feel like a mini pub atmosphere. Would strongly recommend

Booked The Famous Cocktail Bar at The Famous Cock Tavern
A great central London location, the bar was perfect for my 40th Birthday party. Excellent Bar Staff on the day and with helping in previous conversations leading up to the day. Would 100% recommend!
MG
Booked The Gallery Bar at De Hems Pub
Amazing...simply amazing.
The communication leading up to the event was outstanding. On the day, Jai and the team were so helpful and accommodating, friendly, polite and kind. I will never forget my birthday party and that is in large part because of the warm welcome we all received. Do not hesitate to book!!!
KP
Booked Secret Bar at "Americana"
I thoroughly enjoyed my 40th Birthday night at Americana! It was a total pleasure working with Alessandro in making my experience incredible with the booking of the secret bar and gallery upstairs with my own private DJ playing my jams into the early hours. I have to shout out to Javon who was on hand with me and my guests all night and Davido who made the experience very smooth. I thoroughly recommend this lavish and exclusive venue.

Booked The Famous Cocktail Bar at The Famous Cock Tavern
Staff were fantastic, they could not have been more helpful & completely rushed off their feet the whole night! They helped make a very special 40th Birthday.
Perfect for a big event like this, security on the door, completely private venue. Able to come early, set up decorations, live music allowed - couldn't be better!
Huge thank you to all the staff that night!!!
MS
Booked Basement Bar at The Oxford Market
I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Oxford Market, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The venue itself was fantastic—charming, well-maintained, and perfect for the occasion. All my guests were impressed and had a wonderful time. A special shout-out to Craig, the organiser, who truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and dedication made the event unforgettable. Highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!
LJ
Booked Basement at Promona Bar & Basement
The venue is in a great location, very central and easily accessible. The different areas work really well for a party so these is space for people to mingle and chat and then the dancefloor for those who really want to party. My DJs were happy with the set up. Naomi and her team were all really lovely and helpful and looked after us well.
I would certainly recommend this venue to anyone looking to hold an event or party.

Booked The Party Room at The Regent
The venue was amazing, the communication leading up to the event was helpful and they responded really quickly. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I also thought it was great value for money, the karaoke machine was such an added bonus. The food was really delicious and came quickly when we ordered, there was no need to pre order . We would definitely use The Regent again, great pub, great service in a really beautiful part of London
