About Whole Venue
80 Banquet
120 Standing / Reception
At The Blue Lion, taking over the whole venue transforms your party into something genuinely memorable. We've watched countless celebrations unfold across our wooden floors, from 40th birthdays that started with quiet drinks and ended with everyone around the pool table at midnight, to company parties where teams from different offices finally got to know each other properly over pints and friendly competition. The main bar anchors the space, its dark wood gleaming under warm lighting while our bartenders pour from an impressive selection of cask ales and spirits. Your guests naturally gather here first, then spread out to claim their favourite spots, perhaps the leather banquette near the fireplace or the cluster of tables perfect for catching up with old friends. That pool table we mentioned? By halfway through most parties, someone's organised an impromptu tournament, and even the skeptics end up joining in. Our kitchen keeps the energy going with seasonal dishes throughout your event, no awkward gaps or rushed service, just good food appearing when people need it. The vintage portraits watching over proceedings and the original fireplace create an atmosphere that feels both special and relaxed, somewhere between a private members' club and your favourite local. What really works about hiring the whole venue is how the different areas create their own rhythms. Some guests hold court at the bar all night, others drift between conversations in our various corners, and when London weather cooperates, people spill out to our outdoor seating for a breath of fresh air. With space for up to 120 guests for drinks or 80 for a sit-down meal, we've got the flexibility to shape the venue around your specific celebration.
