Mare Street Market King's Cross hosts corporate events, group dinners, launches and party-style weddings from a 60-guest private room up to a full venue takeover that the official site puts at 600 guests or more. A mezzanine takes up to 250. The venue is at 2 Lewis Cubitt Square, London N1C 4DY, a short walk from King's Cross and St Pancras stations.
Seminars and company events
Corporate hire is one of the three event routes on the official site, next to birthdays and engagements. The format is social rather than conference-style: team dinners, client evenings, product launches and drinks receptions. The private room works for small meetings and team dinners. The semi-private areas suit mid-sized group dining. The mezzanine and the full venue take launches and larger company parties.
Entertainment can be added, such as DJs, live music, photobooths or karaoke. The venue also moves from restaurant service to a bar format after dinner, so one booking can cover a dinner and the drinks that follow. The site does not describe projectors, plenary seating or a seminar package, so ask about equipment before planning a presentation.
Weddings and receptions
The private hire page names weddings and wedding parties among the events it takes, and the full venue is presented for weddings, launches and parties. The page does not mention a ceremony licence, so treat the venue as a place for a reception, an engagement party or a wedding party, and confirm with the team what is possible.
Rooms and capacities
The site describes four levels of hire. The Private Lounge is the intimate room, with figures of up to 60 guests in one place on the site and up to 75 in another. The semi-private exclusive areas are for medium groups. The mezzanine takes up to 250 guests. A full venue takeover is stated at 500 or more, 600 or more and, for Christmas, up to 650. The layout, format and flow can be adapted to the event.
The venue has an open kitchen, a large dining space and an outdoor terrace, and it combines vintage character with a modern look. It also houses shops, which gives the building the feel of an indoor market.
Catering
Food is prepared in the house kitchen. Three formats are offered: set menus with several courses and seasonal ingredients, sharing platters built around stone-baked pizzas and sharing dishes, and bespoke menus designed with the chefs around the event and dietary needs. Menus cover brunch, lunch and dinner. Drinks include signature cocktails, organic wines and craft beers, and every menu includes non-alcoholic options.
Getting there
The venue is moments from King's Cross tube station and St Pancras International, which serves Eurostar and domestic trains. That makes it practical for guests arriving from other cities or countries. Event enquiries go to kxevents@marestreetmarket.com.
