Restaurants usually allow you to decorate for your birthday party if you reserve a private room. If you only have a table booked in the common eating area, you most likely won’t be allowed to decorate. Some restaurants like to provide their own decorations, though, so make sure to check with the venue manager before bringing your own.

Many London restaurants offer private dining rooms, suitable for small birthday celebrations or semi-private group meals. ArrosQD in Fitzrovia, for example, provides a per-person price model ideal for mid-size gatherings, while The Union Club in Soho and Fortnum & Mason in St James both feature elegant rooms for hire. Capacities typically range from 15 to 60 guests seated.

Packages can include exclusive room hire, catering, drinks, and sometimes extras like birthday cakes or decorations. For instance, venues like The Fable in Farringdon and The Tattershall Castle on the Thames have flexible packages for groups, offering both seated dining and standing receptions. Costs vary but commonly start from £500 minimum spend and can go well over £5000 for larger events. Always check what's included, as some venues also offer AV equipment or entertainment add-ons.
