The Hollywood Arms hosts half-day and full-day meetings, team training, company parties, charity fundraisers, birthday dinners and wedding receptions for up to 55 seated guests or 80 standing. Events take place mainly in the Boulevard Bar, a private room with its own bar, while The Aviary offers a smaller dining space. The pub stands at 45 Hollywood Road in Chelsea, London, and is run by the pub group Young's.
Seminars and company events
The Boulevard Bar is set up for working days as well as evenings. It has projector screens and audio equipment for digital presentations, and the venue suggests it for brainstorming sessions and team training. Free wifi runs for the length of the meeting, and tea and coffee are provided. Two day formats are sold: a full day, with lunch options, and a half day, with pastries and a choice of sandwich boards. Teams can stay on for drinks once the meeting ends. The room seats 55 for a meeting. Beyond meetings, the venue lists corporate events, Christmas parties and charity fundraisers, with canapés, sharing boards, set menus and drinks packages, including Champagne on arrival.
Weddings and receptions
The Hollywood Arms does not hold ceremonies at present, so couples marry elsewhere and come here for the reception. A guest review on the site describes a ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall followed by a reception at the pub. Receptions can start from midday on any day of the week, and couples can come in to decorate from 10 a.m. Table decorations, flowers and helium balloons are allowed, and the team can recommend decorators. The Boulevard Bar takes a seated dinner followed by late dancing, and the pub also hosts afterparties, from a large dinner to relaxed drinks and small plates.
Rooms and capacities
The Boulevard Bar seats 55 and holds 80 standing. Its private bar, screens and sound system make it the venue's main event room, with space for both dining and dancing. The Aviary is presented as a dining room for smaller groups, and the Main Bar is also listed among the spaces. The site gives no capacity for either. Access on the event day starts at 10 a.m., and events end at 11 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Catering
All food comes from the pub's own kitchen, led by a head chef, and outside caterers are not allowed. Options range from bite-sized canapés and sharing boards to three-course dinners and seated set menus. Menu choices and dietary needs must be confirmed 10 days before the event. Food is served from noon to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday. An events pack with sample menus is linked from the official site.
Getting there
West Brompton station is about 15 minutes on foot, roughly 0.7 miles away, and Fulham Broadway is about 17 minutes, roughly 0.8 miles. There is no parking at the pub. Paid street parking nearby works through the RingGo app, which matters for suppliers delivering decorations. A deposit confirms the booking once the date is chosen.
