Theo Randall Cucina Italiana offers private dining rooms for 18 to 75 guests and exclusive hire of the whole restaurant for up to 200 guests standing. Companies use it for corporate dinners and drink receptions, and families and friends use it for celebrations. The restaurant is led by chef Theo Randall and is located inside the InterContinental London Park Lane, at One Hamilton Place, Park Lane, in central London.
Seminars and company events
The two private dining rooms suit corporate dinners, drink receptions and client evenings. The Puglia Room, the smaller of the two, is described as suitable for corporate events as well as family gatherings and elegant dinners. For a larger company event, exclusive hire opens the main dining area. The site says layouts can be customized for presentations, speeches or entertainment. The offer is built around dinners and receptions. No meeting equipment is listed, so confirm audiovisual needs when you enquire.
Rooms and capacities
The Puglia Room seats up to 18 guests and holds up to 22 standing. It is the more intimate option, with a layout that makes conversation easy.
The Amalfi Room seats up to 40 guests and holds up to 50 standing. It is arranged so that guests can have a reception and then a seated dinner without leaving the room.
The two rooms can be connected. Together they seat up to 58 guests and hold up to 75 standing. Booked as a pair, they allow a reception in the Puglia Room while the Amalfi Room is prepared for dinner, so the group moves from one part of the evening to the next.
For exclusive hire, the main dining area seats up to 120 guests. Adding the two private dining rooms raises the seated capacity to 160 and the standing capacity to 200. The restaurant offers a virtual walkthrough and a capacities brochure on its private dining page.
Catering
The kitchen works from a daily changing menu inspired by Theo Randall's regular trips to Italy and by the best seasonal ingredients available from the market each day. The wine list is overseen personally by the chef, and about 90 percent of it is Italian varietals. For exclusive hire, menus can be designed in collaboration with Theo Randall.
The restaurant also runs a monthly regional tasting menu that features a different Italian region each month, with a wine pairing for three courses. The bar offers a Negroni personalization service, where guests build their own version of the cocktail from a list of Italian gins, vermouths and bitters. The site also lists a festive season offer and masterclasses, which are worth asking about when you plan a group event.
