About No. 1 Dining Room
70 Standing / Reception
50 Seated
Beneath the Tavern Bar & Grill, our No. 1 Dining Room holds court as the largest of our private spaces, where first edition Charles Dickens books line the walls, the UK's most extensive collection in a private dining room. Here, literary history meets modern hospitality in a space that's hosted everything from boardroom dinners to milestone celebrations for nearly four decades. Three intimate alcoves frame the room, each ready to accommodate round tables for smaller groups within your larger gathering. We can seat 50 for dinner or welcome 60 for standing receptions, with our long central table creating an impressive focal point when you need everyone together. The warm glow from our red-shaded lamps and flickering candles sets just the right mood, while natural light keeps daytime events feeling fresh and energetic. Our kitchen team prepares every dish in-house, bringing French culinary traditions to your table with ingredients we've sourced carefully over our 36 years. The private bar means your guests never wait for drinks, and we've equipped the room with everything modern events require: reliable Wi-Fi, a projector for presentations, and a flatscreen TV for any visual needs. Your own private entrance ensures complete privacy for your gathering. The versatility here surprises people. Business lunches transform into wine tastings by evening, birthday dinners give way to wedding receptions. Those Dickens first editions have witnessed countless toasts and deals sealed over our signature dishes. Just a three-minute walk from Farringdon Station, with the Elizabeth Line connecting you across London, getting here is straightforward even if finding our cobblestone courtyard adds a moment of delightful discovery. Whether planning a formal dinner or relaxed reception, we'd welcome the chance to show you how the No. 1 Dining Room could work for your event.
