The Lost & Found Birmingham offers three private rooms for company meetings, team celebrations and receptions, with room sizes from about 20 to 40 guests. The venue is a bar and restaurant at 8 Bennetts Hill in central Birmingham, inside a Grade II listed building with a botanical theme.
Seminars and company events
The Boardroom is the room the venue itself recommends for business meetings and co-working. It holds 20 to 30 people and comes with a dedicated private server, so drinks and a buffet reach the table without anyone leaving the room. It suits a team meeting, a client lunch, a working session that ends with drinks or a small internal celebration.
The Gallery is a mezzanine that overlooks the main bar. It has its own private bar and a dedicated bartender, and it can be booked exclusively for corporate events as well as birthdays, engagement parties and hen parties. The venue says it comfortably accommodates around 30 guests.
The site also promotes group bookings for work Christmas parties. It lists festive menus, festive buffets and pre-paid drinks packages for groups, with a quick drinks service designed to keep a large party together.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists wedding hire among its facilities. The Secret Room is the space the venue presents for receptions and celebrations. It can be hired for exclusive use, with private drink service from a dedicated server and catering available. Guests who want a smaller, more private gathering can also use the Gallery.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives these figures for the three rooms.
The Boardroom holds 20 to 30 people. The Secret Room is described as taking up to 40 guests, and the same page also mentions groups of up to 30. The Gallery takes around 30 guests. The Secret Room is hidden away from the main bar, which gives it the most privacy of the three. The Boardroom and the Gallery each have their own drinks service, so a group does not need to queue at the main bar.
For a larger event, the practical ceiling stated by the venue is 40 guests in a single room.
Catering
Food is prepared in house and the kitchen cooks from scratch each day. The menus lean on British classics, and the venue also runs brunch, lunch and afternoon tea service. For groups, the Boardroom is offered with buffet dining, the Secret Room with catering, and the venue sells pre-booked packages for Christmas parties. The bar side covers cocktails with a botanical theme and cask ales.
Kitchen service times are listed as 12 pm to 9 pm Monday to Wednesday, 12 pm to 10 pm Thursday and Friday, 11 am to 10 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 8:30 pm on Sunday. The bar stays open later on weekends, until midnight on Friday and 1 am on Saturday.
History and setting
The building is Grade II listed and stands on Bennetts Hill, in Birmingham city centre. The interior is dressed as a hideaway inspired by botany and exploration, with a canopy of foliage over the main bar. The venue is part of the Marston's pub group. The site lists accessible access and free wifi among its facilities, which helps for a meeting with visitors.
