Seminars and company events
Rhum Tavern takes private groups of 50 or 80 guests in its two hire areas, or up to 150 when a company books the whole venue. The tavern is at 48 Margaret Street in London W1, about two minutes on foot from Oxford Circus, between Fitzrovia, Soho, Regent Street and Mayfair.
The venue lists corporate events, networking evenings, client entertainment, product launches, brand activations and influencer events among its bookings. AV and presentation equipment is available, so a short talk or a product reveal can open the evening before the bar takes over. A dedicated planning team handles the run of the event. For daytime formats, the full venue can be hired on its own from Monday to Saturday, for a minimum of three hours, which works for a launch, a press preview or a team session away from the office.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and engagement parties are on the list of private events, along with birthdays, Christmas and summer parties, charity evenings and family parties. A wedding reception for up to 150 guests can take the full venue, while a smaller engagement drink fits in one of the private areas.
Rooms and capacities
The interior is styled as a pirate ship, with hidden rooms and a strong visual setting that the venue offers for photography and video as well. The Captain's Quarters is the smaller private area, for up to 50 guests, with access to the bar and its own service. The Back Ship holds up to 80 guests and suits a relaxed social evening, with bar access, grilled dishes and dedicated staff. The Full Venue gives exclusive use of every area, from the Captain's Quarters to the Back Ship, for up to 150 guests, with the full bar and kitchen. Day Time Hire offers the same exclusive use during the day for up to 150 guests. The site gives maximum numbers but does not say whether they are seated or standing, so the layout is worth checking for a sit-down meal.
Catering
The kitchen is built around flame-grilled food, with sharing plates and mains, and food and drink packages are put together for each event. The bar carries more than 400 rum expressions, along with signature cocktails, beers and wines. Cocktail masterclasses and rum experiences can be added for a team activity or a client evening. DJs, live music and other entertainment can be booked through the venue.
Getting there
Oxford Circus station, served by the Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines, is about two minutes away on foot. Margaret Street runs parallel to Oxford Street, so guests coming from offices in the West End, Fitzrovia or Mayfair can walk over after work. For a mixed group arriving from across London, the central position on several Underground lines keeps travel times short.
