Looking for venue hire in Westminster? The Cellarium Cafe and Terrace at Westminster Abbey offers a distinctive setting within one of London’s most recognisable historic landmarks. Spanning medieval and contemporary spaces, it is suited to everything from anniversary parties and baby showers to corporate events, awards ceremonies and drinks receptions.
At its heart is the medieval Cellarium, a vaulted undercroft once used by monks in the 14th century to store food and drink. Today, it accommodates up to 120 guests standing or 80 for a seated banquet. The stone arches and historic architecture create a memorable backdrop for formal dinners or more relaxed standing receptions. Table layouts and decoration can be tailored to suit the occasion.
Upstairs, there is an indoor event space called The Cellarium Terrace, which boasts magnificent views of Westminster Abbey. The space hosts up to 60 guests standing or 40 seated and includes exclusive use of the outdoor area, making it particularly well-suited to summer parties and evening gatherings.
Catering can be arranged around breakfast meetings, lunch events, Sunday roasts or afternoon tea. Menus include starters such as roasted pepper bruschetta and soup of the day, followed by mains like pan-fried sea bream, grilled sirloin steak and seasonal salads, with desserts including pear and sage cream pavlova, white chocolate pistachio cheesecake and apple and berry crumble. The drinks menu offers up a curated selection of sparkling, white, rose and red wines, plus soft and hot drinks.
Afternoon tea features homemade scones with clotted cream and jam, alongside savoury bites and pastries. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and can be served alongside tea, coffee or sparkling wine. With disabled access, flexible capacities and exclusive hire available, the Cellarium Cafe and Terrace provides a versatile venue hire option in Westminster for both private and corporate occasions.
