4 of the best Paddington private dining experiences

The Prince Regent is testimony that London has just about everything. This steamboat doubles as a top Paddington private barge that can accommodate 80 people standing. Enjoy top-notch British seafood whilst the navy-blue cruise heads into Little Venice, through the Maida Hill Tunnels, past Regent’s Park and on to the London Zoo.

The two-and-a-half-hour commute gives ample opportunity to dine on oysters and sip a Negroni, or whatever drink floats your boat.

Located on 2 Canalside Walk is Bondi Green – known for its Aussie-themed menu, this restaurant and bar comes with a riverside view. With a group dining capacity of 20 and a standing capacity of 250 with a full restaurant bookout, Bondi Green is a picturesque spot for a celebration. The private dining menu here includes a range of options ranging from canapés to a three-course set menu.

If you’re looking for a private dining experience with built-in entertainment, book Heist Bank. The Pool Room features a full-sized pool table and has a capacity of 30-90 people. Additionally, the Games Room features a built-in projector, karaoke, and Nintendo 64 and can hold 32 people seated and 50 standing.

When hunger strikes, we recommend feasting on the wood-fired pizzas made from in-house dough. Order one of the massive sharing cocktails and give in to a drinking game (you know you want to).

The Cleveland Arms is a top choice if you’re after a traditional pub where you can enjoy elevated British classics. The low-lit ambience gives the space a cosy feel. The basement, featuring an open kitchen, seats up to 25 people and is ideal for an intimate dinner or an after-work celebration.

With a humble menu specialising in comfort meals, the downstairs is available for semi-private hire for a classy and homey experience.
