Cottons Shoreditch, at 321 Old Street in London, offers private hire for company events and group celebrations of up to 120 guests. The dedicated space is Cottons Club, which sits beneath the restaurant. It has its own bar, a sound system and room for DJs and entertainment.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant lists corporate events and team celebrations among the occasions it hosts. Cottons Club suits a social format: a team party, a client evening, an end-of-year celebration or a Christmas party. It is a bar and entertainment space rather than a meeting room, so it fits drinks receptions, networking evenings and standing events better than a day of presentations. The official site does not describe screens, projection or seated seminar layouts, so ask the events team about audiovisual needs if you have any.
A combined evening is possible. Guests can start with food and cocktails in the restaurant upstairs, then move down to the Club for the rest of the night. This keeps a group together under one roof and removes the need to book a second venue.
Weddings and receptions
The site lists engagements and anniversaries among the celebrations it hosts, along with birthdays and larger group events. Weddings are not named as an offer, so confirm directly if you are planning a wedding reception.
Rooms and capacities
The Shoreditch site names one private hire room. Cottons Club holds up to 120 guests, according to the venue. The restaurant above has its own tables for group dining, but no capacity or room layout is published for it. The venue does not state separate seated and standing figures for the Club.
Catering
The events team can arrange food and drinks packages, DJs, live entertainment and extras. The restaurant serves Caribbean cuisine and cocktails, and the group offer builds on that menu. A private catering option is also listed on the brand's site. Ask the team which packages apply to the Shoreditch Club and what a set menu looks like for your headcount.
