Towering Christmas trees, crystal chandeliers and ornate moulded ceilings give Plaisterers’ Hall plenty of festive drama. This City of London Christmas party venue is available for exclusive hire, hosting everything from intimate lunches to staff celebrations for up to 500 guests.
Bespoke catering allows organisers to choose a traditional roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding, or take a different approach with bowl food, canapes, nibbles or a banquet. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea are also possible, giving teams and private groups flexibility over the timing and format of their gathering.
Three-course menus draw on a broad selection of dishes. Starters include beef carpaccio, spiced aubergine salad and roasted cauliflower with whipped tahini, followed by mains such as confit duck, roast venison fillet or miso aubergine. Dark chocolate tart with candied almonds and raspberry and elderflower fool are among the dessert options.
The Great Hall seats 330 for dinner or accommodates 500 standing. Decorative walls, a rich carpeted floor and a balcony complete the interior, which can be dressed with festive greenery and lights. There is space for live music, DJs and dancing beneath the high ceilings. The Livery Hall holds 70 seated or 220 standing. Smaller rooms include the Humber Room, accommodating 16 in a meeting layout or 20 theatre-style, and the Mott Room, holding 20 for a meeting or standing reception.
Food stations serving arancini, pizza, cheese and charcuterie or desserts suit a more informal reception, allowing guests to mingle over food. Trusted caterers work with organisers to tailor the menu to the event. Drinks packages can include wine, sparkling wine, beer, cider and cocktails such as elderflower Collins, Negronis and mojitos. Virgin palomas and lemon iced tea offer non-alcoholic alternatives, alongside soft drinks and hot drinks.
