London’s Best Private Dining Rooms
A little too soon perhaps to say ‘tis the season, but undoubtedly the season approaches. With that in mind, we’re pleased to get in touch today with an update on our beautiful private dining room options at our London restaurants. From blush tones and white table cloths in Chelsea, to recently revamped chef’s table under the streets of Soho; from riverside dining in period properties to stepping behind weighty velvet curtains to a secluded spot in Queen Park’s hottest new table, The Salusbury.
THE SALUSBURY, QUEEN’S PARK
Sexy and secluded private dining in London’s newest pub
For the philocalists amongst us; step into this recently rejuvenated Queen’s Park institution and through the heavy velvet curtain to the private dining room for a long afternoon of celebrating, with a serious sound system to boot. Taken over by two mates and locals, the pub reopened at the end of the summer with excellent kitchen talent, Tarryn Bingle (ex La Trompette), delivering a whopping Christmas menu including cured trout with clementine, rib of beef and orange and brandy cream doughnuts. Once finished, enjoy martinis by the bar, or linger over the record player and extensive disk collection.
Accommodates 12 guests seated. Christmas menu from £65pp

THE PIG’S EAR, CHELSEA
For white table clothes and elevated dining
The Gladwin Brothers’ very first pub – The Pig’s Ear in Chelsea - has a beautiful dining room tucked up above the iconic pub. With its own bar, the room has a pleasing dichotomy throughout the interior design, with glamourous chandeliers hanging next to parachuting radishes and roots dangling from the ceiling. Soft pink and orange hues pair pleasantly with artwork by the Gladwin matriarch Bridget; the space is ideal for long table feasts that celebrate all things local and wild. Nestled on Old Church Street, the pub offers locally sourced and seasonal dishes, alongside real ales, cocktails, and fine wines, including Nutbourne wines from The Gladwin Brothers very own vineyards.
Accommodates 20 to 40 guests

Tucked between the pub and restaurant, the space seats up to 20 and features a knockout mosaic fireplace by renowned artist Candace Bahouth (whose works can also be found in the V&A).
This gorgeous space is designed for long lunches, generous sharing feasts and convivial dinners cooked by the brilliant Sam Lomas.
