For larger group events in central London, Mildreds Covent Garden offers everything you might want, from a beautiful space to host friends, family or colleagues, to a lip-smacking menu of tasty vegetarian fare. Set just moments from the Piazza, theatres and transport links, it’s a practical and yet buzzy choice for birthday parties, team celebrations, networking dinners and milestone gatherings that deserve a setting with personality.
Mildreds has been shaping London’s plant-based dining scene since 1988, evolving from its original Soho restaurant into a city-wide name known for ever-evolving vegan cooking. The Covent Garden site carries that same confidence, with a basement events space that can be hired exclusively for up to 50 guests seated - ideal for larger private dinners or full-scale takeovers.
The aesthetic makes an immediate impact. Richly-toned walls walls, fashionable panelling and large eye-grabbing artworks create a dynamic backdrop, while Art Deco lighting light the space softly. The atmosphere feels lively and contemporary, particularly in the evening when the lighting lowers and the space fills with conversation. It’s a room that holds energy well, whether you’re hosting speeches, flowing drinks or a long, celebratory dinner.
Menus are designed to suit groups. Starters such as harissa patatas bravas with triple-cooked spiced potatoes and guacamole verde with spinach and avocado bring colour and texture to the table. Larger plates include kimchi bokkeumbap with organic salt and pepper tofu, shawarma kebab with glazed mushroom skewers and tahini cream, and burgers like the smoky mushroom prime patty with salsa verde. The food is varied, vibrant and structured in a way that keeps service smooth for bigger parties.
Drinks keep pace. Why not start with a glass of rose or white wine, or zero percent fizz for those who aren't drinking? Then, there's a fabulous cocktail menu of signatures to try, a curated selection of beers or if you'd prefer, fresh, healthy juices and an array of hot drinks and teas.
