Affordable private dining rooms in London for lower budget events
Everyone has a budget. Always. For some events that budget may be massive, for others, often when that cash is coming from one’s own pocket for a personal event rather than a corporate bash, the budget may be smaller.
It’s always important to get the most from your budget – and it’s important, whatever your budget, to be savvy and look carefully at the choices available for your event. Because of the wealth of options available in London, you can get great venues for extremely good value. For events that are held at non-peak times, negotiations over rates may find a softer ear, while venues that use a minimum spend rather than a direct room hire, can often prove cost effective.
Also don’t forget to consider different types of event and cuisine styles to save money – sharing plates or bowl food receptions can be less costly than full sit down dinners – and watch the ingredients! Foie gras & lobster is always going to bust a tight budget, but equally it doesn’t have to be chicken in a white sauce.
So these venues are for when you need a private room but don’t have a big budget.
Top Tip: Thankfully veggie options no longer play second fiddle to meat and fish. Creative chefs now mean these options taste great but are often the least expensive on the menu.
