Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in London for Vegan Cuisine

Talk about a trend sweeping the planet – it seems like veganism has not just caught on, it’s caught fire! The whole world is hot for vegan food right now, and London’s no exception. If you want to hold a party or event and know you’ve got top vegan food, then check these venues out – from fine dining to pub grub, it’s all possible.

Gauthier Soho

We love this classic Soho Regency townhouse that’s under the direction of Michelin starred chef Alexis Gauthier. With a focus on vegetables since its opening, in 2015, Gauthier changed his vegetable menu to be fully vegan and in 2016 became vegan himself. The ‘Les Plantes’ menu has won several awards including ‘Best Vegan Menu’ (PETA Food Awards 2016). With a variety of private rooms available from one or both of the main dining rooms (Le Grand/Le Petit Salon) or the Games Room, Hidden Room or Chef’s Room, Gauthier can accommodate parties from 4 to 40 including wedding receptions. Menus cost around £60 per person.

Apres Food Co

Run by a fully trained nutritional therapist, this multi-award winning small independent café has already received accolades from the likes of Tatler, Forbes, Time Out and London Lifestyle and Free From Awards despite only opening 18 months ago. With more of a bistro feel in the evenings it is available for exclusive hire for up to 28 guests. With seasonally changing menus and everything cooked on site, it’s organic where possible (including organic and biodynamic wines), gluten free, with nothing fried or cling-filmed and dishes are refined sugar free. Parties can choose a bespoke menu, a reduced a la carte or a self-serve buffet of salads and other dishes on the central display. Spend per head is around £25 – £30, although breakfasts start at just £8.95 with a full Apres breakfast a very competitive £13.95. There’s a minimum spend dependent on time and date of event and a 50% deposit on food is also required.

With space for up to 42 guests, Veggie Vegan can be hired exclusively for private events.

For lunch events, there’s a buffet at £11.50 per person, or from 5.30pm onwards an a la carte is offered.

With discretionary room hire charges dependent on the time and date of events, there’s also a variable deposit required for food. Average spend is around £25 per person for three courses. 222 is often recognised for its great food in a casual setting – with awards from Time Out, Square Meal and the Happy Cow.

London’s first 100% vegan pub – with all its food, drinks, fixtures and fittings being plant-based and sourced sustainably, The Spread Eagle in Hackney has a semi-private snug for around 20 – 30 or can section off areas of the pub for seated dinners for between 40 to 100 guests. They offer their regular menu for parties of all sizes or can tailor make party menus on request. Spend per head is around £15-20 per head and there’s no room hire or minimum spend required, just a deposit for larger parties.

There are three set menu options with a range of vegan and vegetarian dishes offered priced at £30, £38 and £50.. And don’t’ forget the pisco cocktails!

And for most unlikely candidate…Dirty Bones

Billed as an “NYC Comfort Food” destination, Dirty Bones may not seem like the immediate choice for vegans but the meat-inspired restaurant group have launched their ‘Vegan MacDaddy’ with Moving Mountains’ plant-based meat B12 Burger topped with vegan mac & cashew ‘cheese’, smoky mushroom ‘short rib’ and espresso-spiked BBQ sauce on a soft bun (£12). With a multitude of private and semi-private dining options at their Kensington site for up to 100 and Shoreditch site for up to 70, it ensures everyone at the part will be happy with their patty.
