Bring the people you love, settle in for something delicious and let us take care of the rest.

For a Christmas celebration of your own, head upstairs. Our riverside first floor offers beautiful private and semi-private spaces for festive lunches, dinners and parties, with sweeping views across the Thames and seasonal menus designed for gathering. From smaller dinners in the Morley Room to larger celebrations taking over the entire upstairs, we can help shape the space, food and drinks around your occasion. Whether it’s the office Christmas party or an annual gathering with friends, all that’s left to do is arrive and celebrate.
