Awards and dinners venue in London

The Brewery truly comes to life at special events. On big nights there’s a certain grandeur to stepping across the private courtyard to the octagonal reception and through into the Grade II listed rooms. The arrival through the courtyard is breath-taking.

Event design

Our award-winning in-house event design team provides creative concepts for any budget – from simply sourcing table centres to transporting your guests with branded or themed designs and productions.

Event facilities

The Brewery offers an integrated DB audio PA system in each room and one of the best Wi-Fi services in the UK for no additional charge. Our in-house AV specialist provides any level of audio-visual support – or you can bring your own team in. All rooms are provided with high-end tableware, built-in LED lighting and electronic entrance signage that can be branded or themed. A complimentary cloakroom is available for delegates to leave their bags and coats with on-site 24hr security, ensuring your awards ceremony or dinner can safely carry on with no hiccups.

Event food and drink

We take our food very seriously. Menus and wine lists change seasonally, and all clients are invited to a tasting in the chef’s kitchen before choosing the menu, with executive chef Tom Gore. Tasting also includes wine, and we’ll help you identify the perfect pairings with your chosen menu. It is also possible for individual table hosts to order drinks online before the event.

Awards and dinners capacity

The Brewery has many spaces available to host your awards or unique dining experience. Here are some examples:

Our venue allows us to be incredibly flexible. View all our rooms here.

It’s important to have different spaces for your guests to mingle and be comfortable in at an awards or dinner venue. A 300-capacity room like King George III offers you the flexibility for seated and standing areas and if combined with Queen Charlotte or Sugar Rooms can increase your capacity and offer a separate space for your guests. The Brewery has some of the most amazing spaces for awards venues London has to offer.  Contact us to find out more.
