About Whole Venue
80 Banquet
100 Standing / Reception
Step into the UK's only underground pétanque playground, where 120 of your guests can party beneath the vaulted brick ceilings of our converted cellar. We've kept the exposed brickwork and dramatic arches that tell the story of this old auction house basement, while our signature yellow columns add punches of Provençal sunshine throughout the space. The heart of our venue beats around the sleek central bar, where our mixologists shake up thyme daiquiris and rosé mojitos using recipes we've perfected over countless parties. High stools invite your guests to perch and sample from our exclusively French wine list, while others might venture into our collection of absinthe and pastis, one of the most extensive you'll find in London. Between drinks, watch as complete beginners transform into competitive pétanque players on our indoor court, or hear shouts of victory from the Babyfoot table tucked into the corner. Our layout flows naturally between different zones, each with its own character. Intimate booth seating creates pockets for conversation, while the open areas around the pétanque court become natural gathering spots where groups cheer on the players. The soft lighting bounces off the curved ceiling, creating a warm glow that makes everyone look great in photos. For seated dinners, we can arrange tables for 80 guests, though most parties prefer our reception style setup accommodating up to 100, which lets people drift between the games, bar, and seating areas. The acoustics work brilliantly for both background music and speeches, something wedding parties particularly appreciate. You'll find us just minutes from City Thameslink and Temple stations, making arrival simple for guests coming from anywhere in London. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm, we're ready to host birthday bashes, wedding receptions, or any celebration where you want your guests talking about the venue long after the last pétanque ball rolls.
