Concept, Vision and Inspiration 

Designed as an extension of the venue, the two marquees feature a front façade and a transparent, glass-like roof, surrounded by railed decking for a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Infused with the sun-drenched charm of continental days, the space inside the marquees achieves an aesthetic that effortlessly balances timeless contemporary chic alongside a relaxed atmosphere, reminiscent of the French Riviera. Bold design, contrasting patterns, and branded furnishings create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Think green and white-striped umbrellas and chevron-patterned flooring to add distinctive character, while verdant greenery enhances the space. Complete with festoon lighting in the courtyard to create an ambient summer night and an upscale experience.

Food and Beverages

We’re tired of the dining schedule! Say goodbye to the conventional dining routine and enjoy a relaxed, market-style approach to service, where you can eat and drink at your own pace without restrictions. As the gold winner of Best in-house caterer at a London Venue at the London Venue and Catering Awards, you can be confident that we are serving up something delicious.

With five diverse stalls to explore, your only challenge will be deciding which cuisines to choose. Be transported to Oaxaca with our taco station, perfectly paired with a margarita. Or perhaps you'll be enticed by the sizzle of yakitori, authentically prepared on our Robata grill. Alternatively, smash burgers, or dim sum might be more your thing. For the indecisive, fear not – we offer upgrade options, ensuring your guests leave content and raving about the experience.

To whet your whistle, we've curated a selection of exceptional wines from female winemakers, craft beers from local breweries, expertly concocted cocktails, as well as enticing non-alcoholic options.
