Hakkasan
If you’re looking for the ultimate in intimate luxury, then try a Hakkasan. The Mayfair site has a private room for just 16 guests to enjoy their fabulous and iconic fine dining Chinese cuisine – starting at £58 for the vegetarian and £68 for the signature menus.
Sexy Fish
Make a splash in the striking private dining area of exclusive sushi and Asian restaurant Sexy Fish. Designed by IT-designers Martin Brudnizki, the Coral Reef Room can seat up to 48 for a seated event or 60 for a standing reception. With Europe’s largest Japanese whisky collection held at the bar, and cocktails to boot, it’s a party waiting to happen.
Want to be the captain of your party and act like a bunch of pirates? Then host your party at the Big Easy’s impressive Canary Wharf site. The vast BBQ restaurant has several private rooms available, the most exciting of which is the Captain’s Table for 26 which is reminiscent of Pirates of the Caribbean. So for all those wannabe Jack and Jane Sparrows out there, this is the perfect venue, with live music nightly outside the private room in the main bar, an extensive range of rums and slushie cocktails it’s impossible not to have an ooh-arr-some time.
Opium
Like its name suggests, the opulence of Opium is addictive. With a plush private dining room for up to 30 guests (60 standing), the London branch of this hugely popular and beautifully designed restaurant, lounge and nightclub offers sharing style Japanese and modern European cuisine and is ideal for a truly buzzing birthday bash.
Ruya
Although nearly a year old, Ruya is still firmly in the new-place-to-be-seen category. The sophisticated modern Turkish restaurant in the heart of Mayfair has glitz and glamour in its DNA. From the fabulous authentic Turkish décor to the stunning menu and flexible spaces, the restaurant can host parties from 16 to 150 and offer live music, DJs and more on request.
Sea Container Events
A fabulously exciting addition to London’s private event scene, Sea Containers on the South Bank boasts a staggering 25,000 sq foot of space – room enough for a mega-party, with views overlooking the river and city skyline. With flexible spaces and the blank canvas of Level 12, the venue can host parties from 10 to 150 for seated events or 250 for standing receptions. We love that food comes from caterers Green & Fortune’s own farm and that seafood and live cooking stations can be offered on request.
