Wonderfully cosy, this area is suitable for up to 70 guests standing or 50 guests seated (we recommend this space for up to 40 guests dining) Whilst this area is not completely private, we would classify this as a semi-private area as this space can easily be reserved for a large party. With access to the main bar, it's a fantastic space to still ...

Birthday Dinner · 30 guests · January 2026
We had an absolutely fantastic experience here and cannot recommend the venue highly enough. From start to finish, the staff were outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing, genuinely personable, and consistently friendly while remaining completely professional. They really made us feel looked after. We booked the private room for a group of 30, which was a bit of a tight squeeze, but Martin and his team handled it brilliantly and made it work without it ever feeling uncomfortable. The food was excellent, with a great variety and widely enjoyed by everyone. The quality and presentation were spot on throughout the evening. A special mention has to go to Martin and his team for how flexible and accommodating they were, particularly around our budget, with January thankfully being a quieter month. Nothing felt like too much trouble and they worked with us rather than against us. We were also working to a very short turnaround after a previous reservation fell through, which could have been stressful, but the entire process was seamless. Everything ran smoothly and effortlessly on the night, which was hugely appreciated. An all round brilliant experience with exceptional service. We would happily return and recommend the venue without hesitation.
Nothing!

About Crutched Friar London

Crutched Friar London is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Crutched Friars (cross-bearing brethren) was a Roman Catholic order which settled on this site in 1249. Named after the staff they carried, surmounted by a crucifix, the order was suppressed by Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries (1536–41). Today, you can enjoy our large selection of cask ales in the historic building where the friars once lived.

The Crutched Friar is situated in The City of London, 2 minutes’ walk from Tower Hill tube.

We are passionate about great British food, our rich heritage of cask ales and newer craft beers, our extensive gin selection and our wine range.

From a quick lunch or snacks with a drink after work, to a sit down dinner or a corporate party with canapés and Prosecco – we can cater for you. Why not have a look at our menus.

Enjoy drinks al fresco in our courtyard or settle back and relax in our dining room and bar, whatever the weather.

A warm welcome awaits. See you soon.
