An exploration of Shoreditch should focus on High Street, Great Eastern Street and Old Street, as these areas feature the greatest concentration of private dining restaurants in the area, along with a wide variety of bars, clubs and shops. All three are relatively easy to hit in one long walk and will familiarise you with not only Shoreditch as a whole but the best of the restaurant scene there. Be sure to also check out the area just west of the St Leonard Church, which also features a diverse grouping of private dining restaurants and a scenic area to stroll.
The Fountain Tap – The perfect private dining room for 30 guests, just steps away from the Old Street Station. Pair craft brews with elevated takes on classic pub food which your guests are sure to love. This venue is ideal for a more laid back private dinner, where you focus on chatting, catching up, and enjoying some small bites and cutting edge brews.
Solo at South Place Hotel – Enjoy a unique private dining experience in the smallest yet versatile room, named after Napoleon Solo, the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. Despite being the smallest of the five private dining and meeting rooms at South Place Hotel, it comfortably seats up to 16 guests. This distinctive space features a table that can be flipped over to transform into a billiard table, adding a touch of fun to your gathering.
The Arch at Gavin la Chapelle – This venue offers an incredible Michelin star menu in an incredible setting for a truly one of a kind dining experience. This private dining room for 20 guests is part of the main restaurant floor, but is separated by a beautiful curtain so you will still feel the energy from the busy dining room and at the same time your party will have all of the privacy they need with dedicated service.
Timber Yard - The Timber Yard at Barrio East is perfect for private events and parties, available for evening hire from Sunday-Thursday for up to 65 people. Equipped with a projector and screen, it offers a colorful vibe ideal for presentations, special occasions, and corporate bookings. There's no hire fee, but a minimum spend applies.
Booking a private dining room on a minimum spend option, where you pay little to nothing for the room but agree to pay a set amount for food and drinks, averages around £500 - £2800. If a flat hire fee is more to your liking, with food and drinks billed separately, then expect to pay around £500 - £1500. If you’re looking for something a bit more flexible, you could look for a place with a per person package as some of the best private dining rooms in Shoreditch offer a set menu and selected beverages for around £25-85 per person.
