Sir Winston hosts private and professional events for up to 130 guests at a seated meal and 170 in cocktail format. The British pub and brasserie stands at 5 rue de Presbourg in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Étoile and the Champs-Élysées, and welcomes afterworks, cocktail receptions, company dinners, birthdays and festive evenings.
Seminars and company events
The official group page lists afterworks, cocktails and company dinners among the formats the venue is designed for. It does not describe meeting-room equipment, so a seminar with slides or plenary sessions should be discussed with the team before you commit. The practical information lists wifi and an air-conditioned room. A virtual tour is offered on the group page, which helps an organizer judge the layout before a site visit.
Requests go through the contact form on the group and privatization page. Give the date, the format, the number of guests and whether they will be seated or standing, since the two limits differ by 40 people.
Rooms and capacities
The figures to plan with are 130 seated and 170 standing in cocktail format. The site names the dining room, a large terrace described as hidden and used in summer, and Doris Bar, a bar presented as a discovery for the evening from autumn. The official pages do not give a separate capacity for each area. Ask which parts are included in the booking, the whole venue or a section, and whether the terrace counts toward the headcount.
The restaurant is open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day. Hours for a private event are agreed with the team.
Catering
The cuisine is Indo-British, led by chef Manoj Sharma. The brunch, served on Sundays, is described as Anglo-Indian. A drinks menu, a wine list and cocktails are available. The official pages do not detail set menus for groups, so the formula for a seated dinner or a cocktail is built with the team.
History and setting
Sir Winston presents itself as the most Parisian of British pubs. The decor, imagined by Laura Gonzalez, mixes a British spirit with Indian inspirations in a warm interior. In summer the day revolves around the terrace. From autumn, Doris Bar opens as the evening setting.
Getting there
The venue lists Charles de Gaulle Étoile métro station, buses 30 and 73, and a car park at 77 avenue Marceau, 75008 Paris. The Étoile is a major transport hub, which suits guests arriving from several parts of the city.
