Booked The Belvedere at County Arms
5.0
We just had my son’s Christening at the County Arms on Saturday and all we can say is WOW! I booked the Belvedere and patio back in December and over the last 7 months Clara and the whole County Arms team made the planning process so easy, especially since we live in NYC and were going to travel for the event. Clara answered my countless type-A/control freak emails with patience and always addressed any concerns I had. Fast forward to the day of the christening, everything ran so smoothly! The room was set up exactly how I imagined and they really helped bring my vision to life. The service was top notch, and the food- DELICIOUS. All of the guests were raving about it on the day as well as the next day. We opted to have different slider boards during welcome drinks and they were such a hit! Everyone also loved their main course. Safe to say no one left hungry or thirsty! (While they didn’t have an open bar option we were able to have a bar tab so our guests could have beer, wine and prosecco which was perfect). We had a private bar as well as a private bathroom with multiple stalls which is so nice and convenient. We opted not to have a DJ but I was able to hook up a playlist to their speakers, and they also were equipped with microphones for speeches as well, which I wasn’t expecting at all so that was also a nice surprise. I’ve planned a lot of parties in nyc, including my own wedding, but I can honestly say I don’t think I enjoyed any of them as much as I enjoyed my son’s special day at the county arms. I cannot recommend them enough!

Amazing venue for my 30th birthday! Ciro and the team were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Booked out all of the downstairs, was able to play our own playlist and everyone that ordered food said it was delicious. Highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to hold an event. Great pub!

Booked Bar at The Lighthouse
4.9
The events team, as well as the bar team and manager James, were absolutely fantastic, resourceful and welcoming to myself and our guests. We had such a brilliant time and there were no hiccups whatsoever. We also had more guests than expected and were able to order extra catering just days before the event. I will certainly be recommending The Lighthouse to any other friends wishing to have a party!

Great venue. And great space to host any event. Staff were accommodating to all our needs and made it all work to come together. Drinks prices and atmosphere were really good for being in Battersea.
