Christmas is a time to eat, drink and be merry, and where better to do that than a wine workshop and kitchen? 28-50 Oxford Street is part of a wider group of restaurants that celebrate the diversity of European wines with fabulous wine lists, wine events and even their own vineyards.
There are several branches in London, but the Oxford Circus restaurant benefits from particularly good transport links, which is crucial when arranging an event that will keep the whole office happy. The main restaurant is elegant and sophisticated with a central brasserie-style bar, industrial lighting and swish banquette seating. The black and white photos of the company's own vineyards, plus the bottles of wine displayed around the room keep the vibe authentic.
Within the restaurant there are plenty of options for seperating your group from other diners, starting with the Wine Wall which sits at the front of the venue and is cordoned off with large, rustic wine crates. Here, between 20 and 30 people can comfortably stand, enjoying drinks and nibbles. If looking for something more intimate, try the Booths which can seat 10 and are more appropriate for a special supper.
If a raucous meal is what you're after, it's possible to book out a long stretch of seating, handily near the bar, with space for between 25 and 35 depending on whether they're sitting or standing. And finally, if it really is party time, try the VIP area which is a semi-private square at the back of the restaurant with capacity for 60 standing.
If booking for the whole company and looking for an even larger area, 28-50 can offer a restaurant takeover. In this case, 140 guests can be catered for, and it's best to chat to the team to plan your party.
