The Full Venue Experience at Foundry Project

Located across two vibrant floors within the iconic Smithfield Market Buildings, Foundry Project offers a flexible, and stylish space tailored to suit a wide variety of events.

The venue comfortably accommodates up to 165 guests for seated dining or 350 for casual, relaxed gatherings with finger food and drinks—perfect for everything from intimate dinners to lively social mixers. Downstairs, the Basement Bar boasts a mix of poser tables, cozy booths, and ample seating for up to 40 guests, making it ideal for after-work drinks, networking, birthdays, hen parties, and festive celebrations.

Tucked away at the back of the restaurant, adjacent to the main bar, the Container Space provides a semi-private setting for groups of up to 30 who want an exclusive feel while still soaking in the venue’s vibrant atmosphere.
