30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · March 2026 · Whole Space

This was the absolute best venue for my fiances 30th. Firstly, the staff, all wonderful, all truly hard working and easy to talk to. Communication was amazing and everything was clear for our event. The place was beautiful, cool and perfect place to host 40 people, so much space!! The bar being available solely to us all night was amazing, and all our guests had the best time. We could decorate however we wanted and the playlist was played with ease. Welcome drinks were done so lovely- espresso martinis for a “30 is brewing” theme! The drinks through the night were incredible and honestly it was a night everyone needed. All the food was delicious, however only allowed to be out for 2 hours! I wish we had alittle heads up maybe like 30-20 mins prior to it being taken away so the guests could have ate it abit more, as there were still lots of food left! But the staff explained it’s a food hygiene reason which is super understandable, but maybe for future events giving the host a 30 minute reminder ! But honestly didn’t affect the most incredible night!

Hen Party · 15 guests · February 2026 · Mezzanine

We hosted a Hen Party in the mezzanine area and could not have been happier with the event. Jenni was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, and the staff at Little Picardy could not have been more accommodating. Everything was communicated perfectly and the venue was perfect for the event - we hosted games, had a lovely food spread, and enjoyed some amazing drinks from the bar downstairs. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough - thank you so much again!

30th Birthday Party · 90 guests · October 2025 · Whole Space

We hired The Little Picardy for my brothers 30th birthday and it was the best party ever! The staff were so helpful from the very beginning. They communicated very well and nothing was an issue. On the night of the party the bar staff were very fast and let us play our own music as loud as we liked! We also decorated the bar with our own decorations. Everyone had a great time and i would definitely consider booking it again for the next big party!

Nothing!

About Little Picardy

Little Picardy is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Little Picardy is a bar and café framed by large street-facing windows and traditional signage, presenting a clear café-bar frontage and an interior geared to seated drinking and dining.

Venue highlights: A split-level layout creates separate ground-floor and upper areas that can be organised for mingling or seated arrangements during private hires. An in-house catering team delivers a British menu with extensive vegan and vegetarian options and plated presentation. A full bar supplies cocktails and a focused wine list suited to drink-led receptions.

Best for: Hen parties, private celebrations and pre-theatre drinks.

Location: Greenside Place sits beside the Playhouse and is a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station, making it convenient for guests arriving by train and for pre- or post-show plans.

What guests say: The events manager coordinates planning and on-the-night arrangements, providing a clear point of contact for bookings. The in-house catering presents food attractively and the front-of-house team delivers attentive, accommodating service while the bar maintains a broad drinks selection.
