Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Southwark
We enjoyed every moment at cafe melanin health & wellness. The staff were nice and very welcoming and professional.
Ngoc was very easy to communicate with and a pleasure on the night. The pub was beautiful, and had been decorated, which made it feel so welcoming. We got to bring our own food and choose the music. Will definitely book again for any future events!
We hosted our engagement party here and couldn't have been happier with Pedro's! The food was delicious and really wowed all of our guests. The wines stole the show too, all of them were exceptional and really well priced. Pedro and his staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, both on the night and when planning the event beforehand. They predicted all our needs before we needed them and really took care of everything so we were able to relax and enjoy the party! The space itself was perfect for our party too, it felt private and at the same time spacious. We will definitely be recommending Pedro's to our friends for their events in the future. Thanks so much Pedro and to all your great team as well!
We had an amazing evening, staff couldn’t have been more attentive and helpful - the venue is gorgeous and perfectly intimate. Fantastic vibes all round
This venue was perfect for our engagement party! Laura was amazing, we had great communication leading up to the event. The staff were all SO lovely! Even my guests commented on how friendly everyone was. I would definitely recommend here and would book here again for myself. Thank you for helping us to host such a great party!
We held our engagement party here recently and the venue was wonderful. The team were so fantastic at handling every question or request! Would definitely recommend - everyone had a fantastic time and said how great the venue was.
Great space and lovely staff, really enjoyed and felt very well looked after by the bar staff and bouncer, would definitely recommend! 🥚
