The Punch Bowl hosts morning meetings, client dinners, wedding meals and drinks for small groups: up to 16 guests in The Club on the top floor and up to 36 in Judy's, the first-floor dining room. The pub stands at 41 Farm Street, on a quiet side street in Mayfair, central London, and is run by Butcombe Brewing Co, which operates pubs across the south of England.
Seminars and company events
The Club is the room for business use. It is a private top-floor space that the group has to itself behind a closed door, with a large screen, a tea and coffee station and a movable bar. The pub suggests it for morning meetings, for a working session followed by lunch, and for client dinners or drinks. With 16 places, it fits a board meeting, a leadership session or a client dinner rather than a training day. When the group grows, Judy's on the first floor takes up to 36 for a seated meal after the meeting, and the ground-floor bar suits drinks before or after.
Weddings and receptions
The Punch Bowl sells wedding receptions, pre-wedding gatherings, engagement parties, anniversaries and private dinners. The Club can host a wedding breakfast for up to 16, welcome drinks, toasts after a ceremony or a cocktail masterclass. Judy's suits a seated wedding meal for up to 36 guests. The ground-floor bar, with its smaller corners, takes engagement toasts or drinks after the meal. Packages can be added to a booking, and details come with the enquiry.
Rooms and capacities
The Club: top floor, up to 16 guests, exclusive use of the floor, large screen, tea and coffee station, movable bar. Judy's: first-floor dining room and whisky room, up to 36 guests. The Bar: ground floor, for drinks before or after a private meal. The pub has no large function hall, so it is a venue for groups under 40.
Catering
Cooking is done in the pub kitchen. Judy's serves an a la carte menu built on seasonal, locally sourced British produce, and on Sundays The Club hosts sharing roasts carved at the table by the chefs. The drinks list covers craft beer, cask ale, wine, classic cocktails with a twist and a wide range of whiskies. Cocktail masterclasses can be arranged on the top floor for a team or a wedding party.
History and setting
The pub describes itself as one of the oldest in Mayfair. It won the Muddy Stilettos Best Destination Pub award in 2025. The Club keeps a Victorian style, while Judy's is a livelier dining room. Farm Street is a quiet residential street close to Berkeley Square and Mount Street, away from the traffic of the main roads around it.
Getting there
Green Park and Bond Street Underground stations are both within walking distance. The pub has no bedrooms, and Mayfair has a wide choice of hotels within a few minutes for guests who stay the night.
