How to choose a West End restaurant for private hire

Pick the cuisine and the tone together

A client lunch suits a quieter room with a set menu; a team celebration suits a livelier restaurant with sharing plates and a later finish. Tell the restaurant what the occasion is and they'll suggest the right room.

Check how private the room is

Some private rooms have their own door and service; others are a screened section of the main dining room. If there are speeches, a presentation or a confidential conversation, ask for a fully enclosed room.
