Looking for somewhere special to organise an event in the heart of London? Well, have you heard of The Buffini Chao Deck? Perhaps not, but we're confident you will have heard of the iconic National Theatre, sitting right on the bank of the Thames. And, on its top floor you'll find The Buffini Chao Deck - a wrap-around indoor-outdoor events space with panoramic views of the river and cityscape.
The space consists of an indoor, open-plan, light-filled function room which is flanked by huge, floor-to-ceiling windows and benefits from lofty ceilings. Every kind of celebration is welcome, from birthdays and weddings, to presentations and networking. In terms of capacity, wedding receptions can work for up to 200 people, while BBQs have a capacity of 180 and boardroom meetings sit at 20. If dinner and dancing is on the cards, invite up to 80 people, while conferences can be organised for up to 120. Of course, there's also the outdoor space which has killer views.
This summer, the team anticipate plenty of seasonal party bookings so they've done the hard work for you and created a selection of packages to make bringing your event together just that little bit easier. The packages have a set price per person and include exclusive hire of the deck, mood lighting and surround sound so you can play your favourite tunes, plus three hours of unlimited drinks and a selection of food options.
If canapes are your thing, there's loads of options to choose from including plant based bites like Violetta artichoke with roast red pepper, English pecorino and rocket mayo, alongside pescatarian options such as warm haddock and gruyere tartlet with fennel pollen. The bowl food menu sounds great, too, with dishes like confit chicken croquette, Caesar emulsion, quail egg and summer leaves. Or, if you fancy something different again, the venue have relationships with a selection of renown food trucks and pop-ups, and are happy to help book one for your day.
