We hosted our engagement party at The Lucky Pig and couldn’t recommend it enough! Sophie was fab throughout the organising process, answering emails almost immediately no matter the day or time! Mario was super helpful on the day, ensuring the party went smoothly! The venue itself had an amazing vibe with tasty cocktails! Would definitely host another party here!

Verified Reviews of Christmas Bars in London
We had a fantastic experience with this venue. The team was highly communicative and incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the event, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, the staff were friendly and attentive, and we couldn't have been happier with how the event turned out. We would highly recommend this venue to others.
Amazing venue. Amazing staff. No complaints on my end. Second time hosting a birthday there and the process is always great. Bar staff are the best so friendly and efficient and the space is beautiful
Space was lovely and big - I’d say bigger than the pictures suggest and was nicely decorated. The majority of staff were super lovely, friendly and helpful. The DJ / music choice was amazing! I had prepped my own playlists but didn’t feel the need to even use it. Food came out on time! All in all I’d return back here for sure. I had the best evening.
We had a great 21st Birthday Party here ! The venue is perfect , right by the water , everyone who works at the Brewery was so friendly and helpful and Ladi, the events manager, was superb . Great communication and a brilliant night had by all . Would definitely recommend .
They made sure that my guests and my night was special throughout. The choice of Prosecco and cocktails is great - as well as the selection of canapés (meat and vegetarian options) which went down well with all my friends and family. Kristina was a huge help whilst organising the event and made the lead up to the night seamless and enjoyable. A huge thank you to Kristina, your team and the dj on the night.
Staff were great, venue had amazing vibe and drinks/food were perfect! Thank you all for an amazing evening :)
Fantastic space, nice and open and set amongst a lovely bar in and easy to get to location. Service was fantastic and the staff were very attentive and understanding. Drinks and food were spot on and came out very quickly.
