And The Award For The Best Venue Goes to... The Brewery

There is nothing The Brewery loves more than a grand occasion and welcoming special events to the venue. On these big nights there’s a certain grandeur to stepping across the private cobbled courtyard to the striking octagonal reception and through into the Grade II listed rooms.

From huge live awards shows where guests rub shoulders with the stars to high profile and intimate business dinners, we’ve seen it all.

Lights, Camera Action... Bringing Your Awards Event To Life

Requiring little or minimal intervention the striking features across the historic spaces at The Brewery provide a beautiful backdrop for your next awards or dinner event. We have a wide range of rooms that can cater for a variety of capacities and formats. The spaces combine to provide you a separate area for both your dinner and drinks reception or after party.

Planning and hosting your next event at The Brewery is easy due to the first class, in-house services offered, including catering, audio-visual and event design. Unlike many other unique venues, we provide all the standard furniture, crockery, cutlery and table linen needed to run your event with no additional hidden charges. However if you’re looking for something bespoke we can help you with sourcing from our favourite trusted suppliers.

Our wonderful team of event managers can call on years of combined experience to seamlessly run your event. We will always aim to deliver exceptional standards of service that go way beyond the expectations of your guests, we want everyone who attends an awards or dinner event at The Brewery to feel like they have been made to feel special by every member of staff.

    Awards and Dinners FAQs

    How do I host an awards dinner?

    An awards dinner is a fantastic way to recognise the great work that your colleagues and employees, or companies in your industry, have achieved. Hosting such a dinner can be intimidating to consider, but with the right team behind you and a plan in place, it needn’t be out of reach. Working with the venue you have chosen will also make the hosting of your awards dinner easier, since you’ll not only have your own team but also the experience of a well-versed events team too.

    Why The Brewery is the best award ceremony venue in London?

    At The Brewery, we pride ourselves on providing everything you need to make your awards dinner a success, supported by our many years of experience in the events industry. With a dedicated event design team, audio-visual systems, award-winning chefs and six venue spaces, we can customise our offering to any event. We’re also situated right in the heart of London, close to transport links across the UK and beyond.

We work with you from your first enquiry to understand the goals you have for your awards dinner and the services you’re looking to include, from catering and audio-visuals, to IT systems and designed venue spaces.

    What room can I hold my awards dinner in?

    Can I hire more than one room to use for my awards dinner/event?

    Some of our rooms are interconnected or joined, meaning that we can be very flexible when it comes to linking spaces and hiring multiple rooms. Organisers should be able to use different rooms in conjunction or use one as a breakout area and another as the main stage area.

    Can you provide food for my guests?

    Our specially tailored menus are perfect for awards events. Our award-winning chefs recognise that food is one of the most important aspects of your awards dinner and will pay particular attention to providing cuisine that complements your evening and stands out as a feature of your event. Find out more about our food and drink.

    Where can my guests leave their coats and bags when they arrive?

    We have a complimentary cloakroom that all guests can use to leave their belongings in a safe and secure location. In addition, we have 24-hour security so all guests of your awards dinner will be able to enjoy the event knowing their valuables are safe.
