30th Birthday Party · 55 guests · April 2026
I hired The Deck for my partner’s surprise 30th birthday party, and we loved every second! The space was exactly as described/pictured and was perfect for the number of people, without it feeling too cramped. We were allowed to decorate the space with very minimal restrictions (only no confetti/glitter), which helped give the event a personal touch. It was also great having our own toilet as it meant no one had to queue downstairs. Now shout out to our bartender Jaray and the Manager Harry for being absolute gems and helping the night run perfectly! Nothing was too much for them and they both deserve a raise ⭐️ Thank you for a great night and would recommend the venue to anyone looking to book for a 30th birthday 💖
We brought our own DJ and it was quite a warm day, but due to licensing restrictions the windows had to be closed at 22:30 so we didn’t disturb the neighbours with the music. This meant that it got quite warm in the room later on in the evening, which is just something to bear in mind! Maybe having a fan in the room would help keep things cool. Not a biggie though 🤘🏼

Birthday Party · 60 guests · January 2026
25th Birthday party: Absolutely stunning night!! Amazing venue I would 100% recommend booking if you are considering. They let us put up our own decorations and bunting and I played my own playlist. Our bartender Valeria was super amazing and was so good at looking after us! She even connected her own phone to the speaker for us too so I would be able to keep my phone on me throughout the night!! GIVE HER A RAISE! We stayed until about 1am which was lovely. Lots of drink options (cocktails!) and a lovely smoking area too. Also your own bathroom upstairs which was so good for people who couldn’t walk up and down loads. AND dog friendly which was very very helpful as my friend had to dog-sit last minute! We brought our own cake and the venue helped us with napkins and spoons which I am super grateful for. Such a cosy space amazing for photos. Very very central if you have people travelling from all over London, and the drinks were very reasonable priced. The space fit everyone so so well too, I was worried that it could get too busy but it was perfect!! Thank you so much for hosting us I would 100% book again!! :)
Nothing to dislike, 5 stars all around!

About The Exmouth Arms

The Exmouth Arms is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Located in a great position amongst the trendy independent shops of Exmouth market, The Exmouth Arms has been rebranded as one of Islington's best pubs for craft beer. Now restored to its former glory, the pub has simple dark wood furnishings that give it that traditional pub feel combined with eccentric, surrealist artworks on the walls that move it into the 21st century.

Given its location, the pub attracts the young, arty crowd that frequents the market but is also welcoming enough that elderly locals also pop in for a few bevvies.
