FAQs about Top Beer Gardens in City of London
The most common way of pricing beer garden venues in the Square Mile is minimum spend, which means you're not paying for using the space and simply spending the money on food and drinks at the venue! The majority of these venues charge between £500 and £3,000 minimum spend, but you can encounter outliers for as little as £25 or as much as £12,000! Food and drink packages tend to cost around £30-£100 per person. If you are looking for venues with flat hire fees, expect them to vary from £150 up to £3,500 per session. (All data from Tagvenue.)
There are! The City boasts an array of amazing beer garden venues of all sizes, from intimate spots to large spaces that can fit a crowd. Some of the best beer gardens with a big capacity in the area include the following:
- North Terrace at Coq D’Argent near the major Bank underground station is a beautiful space that can fit up to 40 guests sitting or 100 standing.
- Courtyard at Saddlers’ Hall near St. Paul’s Station creates a stunning oasis within the bustling financial district of London. It has a capacity of up to 200 people for a standing-style event.
- Stationers’ Hall and Garden near St. Paul’s Station is an amazing choice for a mixed indoor and outdoor party. You’ll be able to host 205 people for a sit-down event or even 450 for a standing reception!
It is! While beer gardens are most popular for summer parties, many of them have facilities that allow you to celebrate even in the classic English weather. Some venues have overhead coverings, roofing, or patio umbrellas to cover their guests from rainfall and snowfall, as well as outdoor heaters that are brought out when it gets a little chilly. Another option is hiring a venue that has indoor space - this way your party can simply move inside if the weather becomes unbearable!
