Utter Waffle Herne Hill offers a bright, easy-going setting for venue hire in London, well suited to celebrations, group gatherings and more informal events. With a strong focus on food and a relaxed atmosphere, it is a good option for those looking to host something sociable rather than overly formal.
Inside, the restaurant has a light and contemporary feel. Sage green panelling, cream tiles and wooden tables create a clean, modern look, softened by touches of greenery and plenty of natural daylight. The overall atmosphere is bright and welcoming, making it easy for guests to settle in, whether arriving for a daytime event or an evening gathering.
The space can be hired exclusively for larger occasions, or partially reserved for smaller groups wanting a more laid-back, semi-private setup. Its flexible layout means it can be adapted to suit different styles of event, from seated meals to more casual drinks and sharing plates.
Food is a central part of the experience, with a range of options designed to suit different occasions. Guests can choose from a selection of event menus, including canapes, banquets, light lunches and more structured multi course dining, or opt for the signature waffle menu. There is also the option to bring in food trucks for a more informal approach, or to dry hire the space and arrange catering independently.
The menu itself is known for its playful mix of sweet and savoury dishes, from waffles with fried chicken and hot honey to dippy eggs and soldiers and granola-topped waffles, alongside sides like truffle hash browns and maple-marmite beans, that work well for sharing. A dedicated vegan menu and a kids menu help ensure a wide range of guests are catered for.
Drinks range from coffee and smoothies through to wine, beer and cocktails such as mimosas, bellinis and Bloody Marys, making it suitable for both daytime and evening events.
