About this space

Number Fifty Three is a Dining Room in The Clarence Whitehall characterised by a classic London-pub interior.

Design: The dining room has dark timber panelling, deep-colour wallpaper and high ceilings. The room features arched windows, patterned flooring and a central chandelier that create a traditional, formal pub interior.

Features: The room contains built-in tufted banquettes, freestanding wooden tables and a mix of upholstered and wooden chairs. The space includes complimentary Wi‑Fi and receives natural daylight through a central glazed roof. Table service for food and drinks can be arranged during private hire.

Ideal for: Small groups looking for a relaxed, seated meal in a quieter, traditional-pub dining room.

What guests say: The dining room is calm and comfortable, offering a quieter dining experience than the ground-floor bar. The room provides attentive, friendly service.

Food was OK. Don't get the brownie or you might need a dentist
Booked a whole venue and turned up and they had filled the room with other patrons. We had a company presentation/games etc. for our Christmas party. Do not book this venue on this website if you want a private room. The staff were rude when we queried it, and they just said "computer system says you have a table" when we came in to view the room a few weeks before to confirm it. Why would I use TagVenue to just book tables in a pub? You can do that directly.
