Verified Reviews of Birthday Party Venues in Clerkenwell
We hosted a joint birthday here and it was great it’s not too loud so you can properly talk to everyone. The prices were reasonable the pizzas are really good and they’re cheap and only £10 for an aperol where some places charge £15. The staff were really really friendly too
Great venue, perfect size, loved that it had its own bar and toilets. Good communication from the venue beforehand and helpful staff.
Lovely, comfortable venue and great staff! Planning and booking were very simple and the deposit was extremely reasonable. The pre-ordered platters were generous (people really liked the arancini!) and the pizzas were a hit. Will definitely be booking here again!
The whole evening was a success the staff were very friendly and approachable The venue was very nice
It was brilliant. So well communicated and every need met - so grateful for this team! Book book book!
The staff at the George and Monkey were very accommodating and helpful, the space and pre-ordered drinks were taken care of very easily. The space was perfect for our needs and everyone had a great time.
Great pub. We booked the area opposite the bar to host around 35-40 people. Had a lovely night and the bar staff & other customers were very friendly.
