Weddings at 1 Lombard Street

Venue Review of Weddings at 1 Lombard Street

This well-known City restaurant, next to the Bank of England, has a loyal following for its food, but it is also a fine venue for a wedding reception for up to 150 (it has no licence but there are no shortage of churches and registry offices in the vicinity). Guests will gather in the fine-dining restaurant for drinks and canapés by chef/partner Herbert Berger, before moving into the Brasserie to eat under 1 Lombard Street's famous dome. Smaller groups, of up to 40, can take the private dining space, the Red Room. As you’d expect, the food is a big draw – the set menus are well thought-out and offer excellent value. A late licence is available, which will be welcome news for the night owls who will no doubt congregate in the bar post-reception.
