Private Dining Rooms in London for 10 – 20 Guests
London has an excellent choice of private dining rooms for groups of 10 to 20 guests, from intimate restaurant dining rooms and hotel spaces to private rooms in pubs and bars across the capital.
A group of this size works particularly well for private dining. It is large enough for a birthday dinner, team celebration or company event, while remaining small enough for everyone to dine together around one table.
Private Dining Rooms (PDR) brings together private dining rooms in London for different party sizes. The venues below offer private dining options for groups of around 10, 12, 15, 18 or 20 guests.
Private Dining Rooms for 10, 12, 15 or 20 Guests
Groups of between 10 and 20 people have one of the widest choices of private dining rooms in London.
At this size, you can find everything from small private rooms in independent restaurants and gastropubs to Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury hotels and contemporary City restaurants.
A room for 10 or 12 guests can work particularly well for an intimate dinner or business meeting, while groups of 15 to 20 have plenty of options for celebrations, team dinners and corporate entertaining.
When comparing rooms, check both the maximum capacity and how the room will be arranged for your particular number of guests. A private room designed for 20 may have a rather different atmosphere when set for 10.
Private Dining for Business Lunches and Dinners
Private dining rooms for 10 to 20 guests are particularly useful for business entertaining.
Board dinners, client lunches, team meetings, presentations and working dinners can all benefit from having a private room away from the main restaurant.
For corporate events, consider privacy, location and transport connections as well as whether you require audiovisual facilities or space for a presentation.
London’s principal business districts offer plenty of choice, including private dining rooms in the City of London, Mayfair and Fitzrovia.
Private Dining for Birthdays and Celebrations
A private room for 10 to 20 people is also an excellent size for birthdays, anniversaries, family lunches, leaving parties and dinners with friends.
Having a separate room gives the group its own space while retaining the food, service and atmosphere of a restaurant.
For a livelier occasion, areas such as Soho and Covent Garden offer a particularly broad choice of restaurants, bars and private dining venues.
Menus for Groups of 10 to 20
One advantage of arranging a relatively small private dinner is that some restaurants may still allow guests to order from an à la carte or reduced à la carte menu rather than requiring everyone to choose from a fixed group menu.
This varies considerably between venues, so it is worth checking when you enquire if individual menu choice is important to your group.
Other restaurants offer set private dining menus or sharing menus specifically designed for groups, which can make service easier and help establish the cost of the event in advance.
Choosing a Private Dining Room for 10–20 Guests
When comparing London private dining rooms for a group of this size, consider:
- your expected final number of guests
- the minimum and maximum capacity of the room
- location and transport
- menu options and dietary requirements
- minimum spend or room hire charge
- privacy
- audiovisual or meeting facilities, if required
- whether drinks can be served in the room before or after dinner
If your numbers are close to either end of the range, it is also worth looking at rooms in the neighbouring capacity category.
