Our favourite Hammersmith private dining venues

Kindred is a multi-purpose events venue and co-working space with several modern spaces available for private hire in a stunning Grade II listed building. The Hall, presented in an elegant understated style, can accommodate 180 guests, the Library 50 guests, the Salon up to 40 standing or 25 seated, and there are other unique heritage spaces as well.

Whether it’s a company retreat, candlelit dinner, or showcase, the events team at Kindred delivers the best-in-class locally sourced menus, entertainment, and guest experience. Enjoy a set menu for your event or have a bespoke 5-course meal designed by Kinred’s Head Chef.

The Hall has candlelight, brass, and marble accents, reclaimed wooden floorboards, and an open fireplace giving the space a warmth and homeliness uncharacteristic of larger private dining venues. And for something smaller and more intimate we highly recommend the Butterwick room.

Near Stamford Brook Station and Ravenscourt Park, the Oak W12 is a picturesque Victorian-era bar that offers elevated Mediterranean and Italian fare including its wood-fired pizzas–think pizzas with a fried egg in the middle and you get the picture.

The private dining room at the Oak W12 is available for a minimum of 10 guests with a maximum of 22 seated guests. The Hammersmith private dining room comes with a minimum spend with no hire fee. The Oak will share a selection of menus for the booker to choose from allowing guests to choose from these on the day.

It’s casual yet refined and full of rustic charm that marries well with the Victorian surroundings of the pub. The exclusivity of the private dining room and the quality of the menus offered won us over.

The Grove Tavern is a handsome Victorian-era pub near Hammersmith Station, the kind of relaxed pub & restaurant you could easily spend a Sunday afternoon in. It’s spacious, and light, with tasteful modern decor and attractive forest green wood pannelling along the walls.

The pub & restaurant are located on the ground floor. The Tavern doesn’t have a private dining room but offers exclusive bookouts. The restaurant can accommodate 60 guests and the bar can accommodate 30. For a drinks & canapé party, the ground floor can accommodate a total of 120 people. There’s also a year-round covered and heated terrace that goes down a treat with patrons to the tavern.

The menu at the Grove Tavern is modern British with Mediterranean influence and showcases the best produce responsibly sourced from local and UK suppliers, and all dishes are presented with attractive gastropub-style presentation.

The Stonemasons Arms is another casual Victorian-era Hammersmith pub and restaurant. The upstairs function room is available for private dining and events. The room is a stunning deep berry colour with palladian windows, very bright by day and well-lit by night.

The function room can accommodate 60 standing or 50 seated and furniture versatility allows for several seating arrangements. The bar is downstairs but private hire can come with a barman to take orders and run drinks up from the bar.

Enjoy well-crafted sourdough pizzas and Mediterranean-style small plates for a casual affair in the well-preserved and attractive surroundings of this Victorian pub.

The Old Ship is snug against the Thames between Hammersmith and Chiswick. The pub and its terrace are well-loved for its views almost as much as its Sunday Roasts dishing up prime cuts from Aldens, a family-run Oxfordshire butchers who have been in business since the 18th century.

The Old Ship offers the Drawing Room and the Conservatory for private hire and it is quite the popular place in Hammersmith for private dining. The pub has a dedicated events coordinator to bring your event to life and a standout British menu–either bespoke set menus, buffet, or standing drinks and canapé reception.

The Drawing Room can accommodate up to 40 seated and 50 standing guests and comes with a private bar, and the Conservatory downstairs can accommodate up to 30 seated and 50 standing guests. Both spaces offer spectacular views of the River Thames.

The Crabtree is a traditional pub and dining room, quaint and picturesque, in a lovely old building. It’s the kind of place you go to sit outside on the terrace with a pint or cocktail and some seafood on a sunny afternoon.

Located upstairs from the main bar, the Crabtree offers a simple and attractive dining room, the Rainville Room, for private dining. It can accommodate 50 seated and 60 standing and offers several seating arrangements to suit your event. The Rainville Room showcases old features like the wooden flooring and glass detail in the windows.

The menu at the Crabtree is all about classic British ingredients and dishes but draws influence and flavours from modern cuisine and puts emphasis on seafood. It’s cosy, lovely, and one of our favourite private dining rooms in the Hammersmith borough.

Sam’s Riverside brasserie is sophisticated and relaxed, spacious and light. The Anglo-French cuisine and seafood dishes are more indicative of somewhere on the southern French coast rather than the Thames riverside but that’s not a complaint.

The private dining room at Sam’s boasts views of the Thames and contemporary art on the walls. It’s exclusive, intimate, and understated. The private dining room can accommodate 18 people for a private dining experience and offers views of the Thames and Hammersmith Bridge.

The modern building and contemporary European-style decor give Sam’s the feeling that you could be somewhere in the south of France, and its seasonal menu with that French touch adds to the feeling.
