Lyndsey was our contact and she was fantastic. I booked this venue from the U.S. so I was going purely off tagvenue description and contact with Lyndsey. She was quick to respond and very helpful not only suggesting venues to order food from but also just really nice and accomodating on the evening. I highly recommend Lyndsey, this venue and would be happy to book again there myself.

About The Newman Arms

Dating back to 1730, The Newman Arms is a gem of a pub in the heart of Fitzrovia, London. It has been frequented regularly by a number of famous characters over the years, including George Orwell and Dylan Thomas. George Orwell even based the “Proles” pub in his dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four on The Newman’s and it featured again in his Keep the Aspidistra Flying. The pub also featured in a scene in Michael Powell’s film Peeping Tom.

We serve over 10 draft beers on keg and cask, including a selection of Big Penny’s core beers, alongside a curated list of guest beers from some of the best breweries in the UK and beyond. We also serve signature cocktails, wines, spirits, soft drinks and low and no alcohol options from other artisan producers.
