About Basement,
80 Banquet
130 Standing / Reception
The Basement at Magpie and Stump transforms from a tucked-away retreat into your own private party space, complete with its own bar and enough room for 130 guests to celebrate in style. Exposed brick walls lined with historical photographs tell the story of our 450-year heritage, while modern lighting creates just the right atmosphere for everything from wedding receptions to milestone birthdays. Your guests will gravitate towards the sleek bar that runs along one side of the room, where our bartenders serve everything from craft cocktails to local ales. High stools line the polished countertop, creating natural conversation spots, while the main floor remains free for dancing, dining, or mingling. We configure the space based on your needs, whether that's round tables for 80 seated guests at a wedding breakfast or an open floor plan for cocktail-style celebrations. The mix of rustic wooden tables and vintage-style seating gives the Basement its distinctive character. We've kept the original brickwork and added carefully chosen memorabilia that sparks conversation without overwhelming the space. The separate entrance means your party maintains complete privacy while your guests can still venture upstairs to explore our ground floor pub or middle floor cocktail bar when they fancy a change of scene. Corporate events, engagement parties, and birthday celebrations all work brilliantly down here. The atmospheric lighting adjusts to match your mood, from bright and energetic for presentations to warm and intimate for evening receptions. Being right across from the Old Bailey means your guests can easily reach us via City Thameslink, St Paul's, or Blackfriars stations, with plenty of buses stopping nearby. Our experienced events team helps coordinate every detail, from furniture layout to bar service, ensuring your celebration unfolds exactly as you've imagined.
