Duck & Waffle London, at 110 Bishopsgate in the City of London, takes private events from intimate dinners to exclusive-hire parties of up to 250 guests. The venue offers several formats: whole-venue hire, a private dining room, a semi-private bar area and group bookings in the main restaurant. It is open around the clock, every day.
Seminars and company events
Exclusive hire is the format for larger company events. The venue lists product launches, music showcases, celebration dinners, premieres and after parties as typical uses. The overall capacity is 250 guests. Exclusive hire covers three spaces: the restaurant space, the bar area and the private dining room. A lighting and audiovisual system is part of the offer. The venue also publishes a floor plan and a virtual tour, and an events team guides you through the planning.
For a smaller business dinner, the private dining room takes up to 18 guests. Its menus are served family style, or as individual choice menus when pre-ordered seven days ahead. Dietary needs can be accommodated with notice.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists special occasions and exclusive parties, but it does not present weddings as a specific offer. Ask the events team if you are planning a wedding dinner or a reception.
