Meeting · 15 guests · August 2026 · Private Room
Area nice and quiet, room had a nice size screen and water provided. Price was competitive too.
Issues logging into the internet and so 20mins wasted trying to log on, an employee logged us in the the other portal in the end.

Birthday Dinner · 16 guests · November 2025 · Private Room
Beautiful Venue and good food.
There was no communication between the hiring team and the venue and we were quite rudely interrupted by the staff at the pub at 10:20 in the middle of a cake cutting even though we were told the venue is cooked till 11 pm. There were also issues with splitting the bill, and we were told different things by the venue and the booking team. There seems to be a massive communication gap between the two teams, and it was highly highly dissapointing to be treated like this.

Drinks Reception · 30 guests · June 2024 · Private Room
The staff are friendly and helpful, the location is very accessible and it's one of the few private pub rooms one can hire for free (with a deposit) in London. A go-to venue for our organisation's social events.
