It's that time again: Christmas is rolling around and with the office party looming, we know how difficult it can be to find a venue that ticks all the boxes. But, luckily for you, we've got a great suggestion up our sleeves.
Bancone is a gourmet, boutique chain of Italian restaurant with a select amount of sites across London. The Borough Yards restaurant has launched its private dining offering and it's the perfect option for bringing together colleagues for the festive season. If you're yet to explore this part of Borough, it couldn't be better connected. A short walk from the Thames, it's surrounded by some of South London's buzziest neighbourhoods, and public transport connections like London Bridge and Southwark are all close by, which is ideal when organising a party for a mix of people.
The restaurant itself is housed within a history railway arch - a fact that tends to go down well with diners thanks to the beautiful period details like arched ceiling and exposed brick. The team behind the brand have done an amazing job with the decor which has a cool, industrial vibe and loads of atmospheric lighting which will set the scene for your party perfectly.
While the ground floor hosts the main dining room, your guests will be shown upstairs to your own private mezzanine. Here, you'll be able to soak up the hubub from the diners below, while enjoy a space that's all yours and even comes with its own bar.
In terms of capacity, there's space for between 8 and 20 people seated or 40 people standing, if you'd prefer a drinks and nibbles type vibe. The restaurant offers a delicious feasting menu for private dining bookings which includes loads of sharing small plates, delicious pasta and sweet treats for afters.
