Really can't fault Joy and the team at Ram Jam, we had an amazing day and the food was spot on. Everything was organised smoothly for our wedding reception and it wasn't an easy task as we were very much at their capacity. I found the whole process to be incredibly professional and Joy was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The venue was exactly what we wanted and worked really well for our party size. We had entertainment and Joy liaised with our sing to ensure set up went smoothly. I really appreciate all the effort that Joy and the team put in to making it a really memorable day.

South London is a huge area, but there are some points to consider when looking for a private dining room. If you are looking closer to the centre, start your hunt in Greenwich, where you can find anything from modern and elegant spaces for an upscale dinner to laid-back and quaint spots great for more casual gatherings. If you don’t mind taking your event further from the central areas, take a look at Bexley, Bromley or Croydon, where you can find interesting and historic venues and comfortable casual spots.
Determine your budget and guest list - Knowing your budget and the number of guests you're inviting will help you narrow down your options and avoid overspending.
Choose the right location - Make sure to check if your first-choice option is easily accessible via public transportation and offers parking options.
Check the room's amenities - Confirm with the venue manager if the room has everything you need that will help you host a successful event, such as AVl equipment, Wi-Fi, lighting, playroom, etc.
Decide on the menu - What food would you like to serve at the event? Having a certain idea in mind will help you choose a private dining space that can meet your expectations.
Review the contract - Read the contract carefully to ensure that you understand all of the terms and conditions, such as cancellation policies and any additional charges.

Verified Reviews of Private Dining Rooms in South London
Everything! I honestly couldn’t fault it. The staff who helped with planning beforehand were responsive and accommodating of the inevitable changes to the plan over time. The staff on the day were exceptional - friendly and warm and incredibly efficient. They had that magic balance of being there if you needed them, but blending in and getting on with things in the background. The food was unbelievably delicious - we had never eaten here before we booked it for our wedding so it felt like a bit of a gamble! The menu looked great though, so we decided to take our chances and it really paid off! We got great feedback from all the guests about the food - some even asked for the recipes!! The room was set up perfectly for the occasion and the lighting and atmosphere were intimate and relaxing. We were able to stream our own music too. The staff helped with timing on the day and were great at adapting to our slightly late timings, asked how we would like things to be done (for example, did we want a ‘moment’ cutting the cake or to just serve).
We had our wedding reception at the county arms. Clara was amazing throughout with the planning and then the staff were amazing with the set up of the room on the day. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect execution of our reception and the food was also amazing! I couldn't recommend the county arms more strongly, and a massive thank you to all of the team.
We celebrated a milestone birthday here in the private room on New Year’s Eve. Holly and the team were incredible! Food was delicious and well-spaced over the course of the night, with a well thought-through set up that allowed for mingling and snacking. The wine machines were a huge hit with the guests and we loved being able to load up a card for everyone to use. Highly recommend for a private event.
Hired the Gallery for my leaving drinks, staff were very responsive (Eva and Ellie were great), our bartender was amazing and kept up with the demand, room was as described, and the night went as smoothly as could be. Great location, parking available and I would definitely use this venue again or recommend it.
Shannon was the lady who organised everything. She’s so helpful, kind and most of all efficient. Any enquired or problem I had she was quick to deal with it with such kindness. Thank you so much. Everyone on the day was amazing and helped us with anything we needed. Food was also good Amazing overall
Overall a top venue that I’d recommend. It’s a beautiful room in a really nice location. Good dedicated bar and restroom facilities too. The staff were also great, very friendly and helpful. The minimum spend also seemed reasonable, so I didn’t have any concerns about reaching it which was nice.
The manager Genti was extremely helpful answering emails before the event and sharing several different set menus to chose from. The room was beautiful and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Our hostess for the night Alysia was amazing - calm, organised and very efficient. The food was delicious and real effort was made to cater for a colleague who had dietary restrictions.
