It’s not always easy to find private dining rooms for 15 in London. Many venues often only offer rooms for intimate gatherings or more major events, with nothing in between. The good news is we've done the legwork for you to find these perfectly-proportioned rooms, which are not only the right size, but also offer SquareMeal-approved food and drink to go with it.
There are lots of good reasons to think about hiring a private dining room, rather than a large table in a restaurant. For one, it feels much more special and thus, is a surefire way to impress your guests. Surprisingly enough, it can also be a great way to save money. More often than not, private dining rooms automatically come with set menus to help streamline the process, and you’ll often end up paying less than you would ordering a la carte. Plus, many restaurants don’t charge a hire fee for the room, or may only ask for a reasonable minimum spend. In short, don't assume that a private dining room will necessarily be more expensive than a normal table, because it may not be.
Once we started looking, we discovered a huge range of rooms for 15 people, each boasting a different style and cuisine.

You can enjoy feasting menus with sharing platters for the table or bespoke set menus - whatever best suits your needs.
