  • Pick a theme - Having a themed party makes all the difference as it can hype up your guests and make the event stand out. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just make sure that it’ll be something that you know your guests will enjoy! 
  • Serve great food and drinks - Food and drinks are the things that people comment on the most. That’s why you should make sure that nobody leaves hungry and that whatever you choose to serve is simply delicious! 
  • Hype up your guests with a proper invitation - Send out invitations that match the theme you’ve picked. You can send digital or traditional invitations - it doesn’t matter. The point is that when your guests receive them, they will be pleasantly surprised and more eager to come. 
  • Prepare some entertainment - To make sure that everyone has a good time, prepare some fun activities like drinking games. It will help everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. 
  • Be a good host - Make sure to welcome every guest and engage in conversations. If you happen to invite people that don’t know each other, properly introduce them. Overall, try to be present and spend quality time with everyone you’ve invited. They will appreciate it and remember the party as fun and enjoyable.

For the location this space was great value. Steve and the team had everything organised in advance even with minor details like tables set up for shared food. The upper arch is a perfect combination of private area within a more open public setting. The outside area is also ideal for the warmer months.

Food was delivered in a timely manner and was delicious. Portions were large and definitely value for money. Justyna especially was excellent and helped us make any little changes or any queries we had. The staff we had serving as well on the night to assist Justyna we’re very friendly and on the ball. The venue itself is gorgeous and provides a very warm atmosphere. Would like to come again.

Amazing Staff, Mike and the rest of the team were simply amazing & they made sure everyone was catered and looked after. Great quality if drinks behind the bar, an array of crafts such as Beavertown Neckoil, Gamma ray etc. Doggetts is definitely keeping up with the trends. Amazing View of the River Thames and great amenities. We will definitely return and recommend this venue.
