About The Groucho Club

Founded in 1985 as an alternative to London’s stiff-collared gentlemen’s clubs, The Groucho Club is a private members' club located on Dean Street that's become famed as a holding ground for those hailing from the creative industries (arts, entertainment and media). It also boasts a huge range of distinct private spaces, and you don’t have to be a member to hire one for an event. Whether it’s a private dinner, meeting, product launch or blowout bash for hundreds of guests, The Groucho Club is able to offer a space, and a dedicated team, to cater for any and all occasions. 

Throw a spectacular dinner in the stunning Dining Room, complete with an ornate, glass-roofed ceiling, 70s crystal chandeliers and royal blue banquet seating. It can hold 50 guests for lunch or dinner, or 100 for a standing event, and comes equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and an integrated sound system. It can also be hired in conjunction with the Mary-Lou room, a cosy living-room inspired space with its own bar and fireplace. The Dining Room also offers access to Liam’s Yard if you’d like to add an alfresco element to your event.  

The Groucho Club is well-placed to host business events and meetings. The Carter Room can hold 16 people around one long table, with its walls boasting numerous stunning pieces of art that are sure to spark creativity. The Gennaro Room on the second floor is a bright and modern space that can easily be adapted to numerous events, including dinners, cocktail parties, seminars, workshops and more. Host 50 for dinner, 24 as a boardroom event or 100 for a standing reception.  

On the food front, there is a host of dedicated private events menus including canapes, bowl food, sharing menus and set three-course dinners. The dishes take inspiration from a range of global influences and all food is prepared using the freshest possible ingredients.

Testimonials For The Groucho Club

Vibrant JANUARY, 2020

We really could not have hoped for a more vibrant (or more decadent) launch event. Thanks to your Kitchen – the arancini have now gone down in company lore. A massive thanks for your positive, can-do attitude and good taste.
