About Exclusive Venue Hire
225 Banquet
100 Standing / Reception
At Sarastro, our Exclusive Venue Hire transforms your entire celebration into a theatrical spectacle. When you take over our Drury Lane restaurant, your guests enter through heavy curtains into a world where Mediterranean dining meets opera house grandeur. The first thing that captures everyone's attention is our collection of authentic opera boxes, each one draped in burgundy and gold velvet, rising along the walls like private theatres overlooking the main dining floor below. We've filled every corner with conversation starters, from gilt-framed portraits of opera legends to antique musical instruments suspended from the ceiling. Our stained glass lamps throw patterns of amber and crimson across tables dressed in jewel-toned fabrics, while theatrical masks peek out from unexpected corners. The space feels alive even before your guests arrive, with its layers of tapestries, mirrors, and curiosities collected from European opera houses. For banquet-style celebrations, we arrange long tables that seat up to 225 guests beneath our ornate ceiling, where exposed ductwork has been painted gold and woven with fairy lights. Prefer a more fluid party atmosphere? We configure the space for 100 standing guests, allowing them to move between the main floor and the opera boxes, each offering its own intimate setting with cushioned benches and private service. Our Mediterranean and Turkish menu becomes part of the performance, with sharing platters that encourage conversation and grilled specialities that fill the room with enticing aromas. Throughout your event, opera singers might serenade from the balconies, or a swing band could set up near the bar, turning dinner into an immersive experience. The central London location means your guests can easily reach us from Covent Garden, Holborn, Temple, or Leicester Square stations. We handle everything from milestone birthdays to corporate celebrations, each one benefiting from our unique blend of theatrical flair and warm hospitality.
