The Telegraph, a pub at 11 Telegraph Street in Moorgate, can host business meetings, corporate events, private dinners and celebrations for groups from about 10 up to 190 guests. Three semi-private spaces handle small and medium groups, and exclusive hire covers the whole venue.
Seminars and company events
Business meetings are a listed use of Barber's Corner, Cookhouse Corner and Lions Gate. Barber's Corner and Cookhouse Corner both have a screen, internet, natural light and step-free access, which makes them the practical choices for a presentation or a working lunch. Lions Gate has internet and step-free access. All are in or beside the main pub, so they are semi-private rather than closed rooms. For a seminar that needs silence and a door, exclusive hire is the safer route.
Exclusive hire has audio, internet and a screen, and the weekend hire has no hire fee according to the venue's listing.
Weddings and receptions
The Telegraph holds a wedding licence for exclusive hire, with a banquet rounds floorplan for 90 guests and a standing capacity of 190. Children are allowed and a private bar is included. The venue also lists celebrations and private dining as common uses.
Rooms and capacities
Barber's Corner takes up to 25 seated or 50 standing, with natural light. Cookhouse Corner, to the right of the bar and divided from the main pub, takes up to 24 seated or 30 standing. Lions Gate, the smallest, takes up to 10 seated or 30 standing. The venue's own overview quotes slightly different figures for two of these (around 20 for dining and 25 standing in Barber's Corner, 16 seated in Lions Gate), so confirm your layout before you plan the room. A covered outdoor space can be used in the rain, with no capacity given. Exclusive hire is 90 seated or 190 standing.
Catering
The venue lists an extensive drinks menu and drinks packages. Sit-down dining is available in the semi-private spaces and for exclusive hire, with packages on request. The pages we reviewed do not detail the food menus.
