Munich Cricket Club Victoria can host company parties for up to 399 guests across the whole venue, or for smaller groups in the Circus (50 guests), the Mezzanine (75) or both together (125). It is a Bavarian bierkeller at 1 Abbey Orchard Street, London SW1P 2LU, near Victoria. The events team handles group bookings, Christmas dinners and full venue hire.
Seminars and company events
The website sells this venue to groups, teams and companies who want to eat, drink and celebrate together. The clearest corporate use is the office party: the team can arrange group bookings, company dinners and larger celebrations. The venue is a bierkeller with a live Oompah band and Bavarian games, so it fits a lively team night more than a quiet working session. There is no plenary room or conference equipment on the official site. Weekday lunches run from 12pm to 3pm and the site recommends them for work breaks and casual catch-ups.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not offered on the official site. The events offer is built around Christmas parties, group experiences and full venue hire, and organisers planning a private celebration of another kind should discuss it with the events team.
Rooms and capacities
The official capacities for Victoria are: whole venue, 399 guests; Circus, 50; Mezzanine, 75; Mezzanine and Circus together, 125.

Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday from 12pm to 11pm, Thursday to Saturday from 12pm to midnight, and Sunday from 12pm to 10pm. The events team confirms availability, layout and conditions for each request.
Catering
Group food centres on Bavarian party platters made for sharing. They include traditional and speciality sausages, golden schnitzels, roasted turkey and Black Forest ham, with fries, potato salad, sauerkraut, gravy, lingonberry jam, fresh-baked pretzels and dips. Vegan platters are available on request. Festive Alpine and Bavarian boards are also offered, along with a Christmas menu in two or three courses. For drinks, the venue offers a mulled wine reception, a stein and schnapps combination and group drinks packages that range from beer buckets to 30 litre and 50 litre kegs.
History and setting
Munich Cricket Club describes itself as a Bavarian bierkeller with weekly live Oompah bands, German beer served by the stein and classic Bavarian food. The company runs three London sites, at Victoria, Tower Hill and Canary Wharf. Each has its own capacities, and the Victoria figures above apply only to this site.
