EVE Kensington

EVE is a New York style pizza restaurant, bar and cafe at 202-220 Cromwell Road in Kensington, London, with spaces to hire for 20 to 120 guests. It accepts work dos, wedding breakfasts and meetings, and its private dining room seats up to 20.

Seminars and company events The site offers a meetings format in the private dining room, which it describes as light, bright and relaxed. The room seats up to 20 guests and has a TV and an audio system with the option to connect a laptop. Table layouts can be arranged on request. The team can cater for breakfast meetings, all-day training sessions and small conferences. The cafe opens at 7am, which helps for an early start. Larger work events can use the other spaces: the conservatory, the restaurant space and the bar.

Weddings and receptions The venue lists wedding breakfasts among the occasions it hosts, with a number of spaces available for 20 to 120 guests. A brochure and an events enquiry form are on the website. The team replies to enquiries about the occasion and the space that suits it.

Rooms and capacities The overall range is 20 to 120 guests across the spaces. The private dining room takes up to 20 seated. The conservatory is described as bright, and the restaurant space is used for parties. Individual capacities for the conservatory and the restaurant are not published, so ask for them when you enquire. The garden is open weather permitting and is presented as a coffee spot rather than an event space.

Catering Food and drink come from EVE's own kitchen and bar. The restaurant serves New York style pizza pies with starters, sides and desserts, and the bar serves classic cocktails, sparkling wines and American beers. The cafe serves coffee, cakes and pastries from 7am, with breakfast daily from 7am to 11am. For Christmas, the venue offers its conservatory, private dining room and restaurant for parties, and its events team handles the details.

History and setting EVE sits at Ember Locke in Kensington. It describes itself as an unorthodox pizza joint from across the pond, with a restaurant, a bar, a cafe and a garden. A limited number of cafe seats are open to people working on laptops, which gives a sense of the relaxed atmosphere.
