Polpo – Soho

Polpo Soho helped pioneer Venetian cicchetti in London and is still a firm favourite in Soho today.

Private dining events at Polpo Soho

If you need an atmospheric private dining room in the West End, look no further than Polpo’s Campari Room.

Set beneath the restaurant, this cosy 24-cover room captures the rustic spirit of a classic Venetian bàcaro while adapting easily to all sorts of occasions. Birthday parties, weddings, business dinners and team gatherings all feel at home here, with a private, characterful setting and some of London’s best Italian food.

The heart of the room is a single long table, perfect for generous, sociable feasts served family-style. The space can be arranged to suit your plans, whether that’s a seated dinner or a more casual drinks reception with aperitivi and canapés. Polpo’s laid-back Italian hospitality makes every event feel warm and inviting, and your party is looked after by its own waiting team all evening.

Naturally, the food comes first. Drawing on Polpo’s Venetian-inspired cooking, groups can collaborate with the kitchen on a tailored menu of cicchetti, pasta, pizzette and desserts, all designed to share. It’s a relaxed, communal way to eat that gives everyone the chance to taste a wide spread of dishes.

Drinks are just as well considered, with a curated list of Italian wines, aperitivi and cocktails. Open the evening with spritzes and let the celebrations run on from there, with staff dedicated solely to the Campari Room keeping service attentive throughout.
