The Banker, a Fuller's pub on Cousin Lane in London EC4R, hosts business meetings, celebrations, corporate events, private dinners and weddings. Rooms range from an intimate arch for 30 guests to the Riverfront room with Thames views, and the whole venue can be hired for up to 200 guests.
Seminars and company events
The Balcony suits a business meeting or a private dinner, with a U-shaped layout for 16, a screen, internet and its own small bar. It also has a pool table and a mix of tables and booths, which lets a working session turn into a social evening. Arch 1 is a smaller room that can be set for dining or a business meeting, with a banquet layout for 25 and internet. For larger groups the whole venue lists audio, internet and a screen, and speeches are supported.
Weddings and receptions
The Riverfront room and the whole venue are both listed for weddings. The Riverfront room has natural light, Thames views and access to an outdoor terrace, and takes 50 seated or 80 standing. Whole-venue hire allows a banquet layout for 75 seated and up to 180 standing, with a booking limit of 200 guests. Live music can be arranged or guests can bring their own, and rooms can be decorated for a themed party.
Rooms and capacities
Arch 1 takes up to 30 standing. The Balcony takes up to 45 standing, with 16 in a U-shape. The Riverfront takes 50 seated or 80 standing. The whole venue takes 75 seated, 180 standing and up to 200 guests, and it is closed to the public at weekends during a whole-venue booking. A minimum spend applies to whole-venue hire.
Catering
Guests can dine from the main menu or from a buffet menu, and the bar serves drinks throughout. Ask the team which format fits the length of the event and the group size. For a working lunch, the Balcony with a screen and a buffet is the simplest set-up. For an evening, the Riverfront room with its terrace opens onto the water, and the whole venue lets a larger company take every room at once. Agree the finishing time and the entertainment plan early, since live music needs space.
