Looking for a private dining room with a bit more personality? Megan's on the Hill in Balham has you covered, with a relaxed setting, stylish decor and a celebratory attitude to hosting, all just a stone's throw from Clapham. Megan's is a much-loved group of restaurants known for its legendary brunches, Mediterranean menus and easy-going vibes. The brand actually started life as a small antiques shop on the King's Road back in 2002, before growing into the neighbourhood-focused collection it is today, which works brilliantly for private events.
Affectionately nicknamed "Balhamas" by regulars, Megan's on the Hill offers a few different ways to host, depending on the size and style of your group. For something a little more intimate, the semi-private dining area seats up to 18 guests, tucked away from the main buzz of the restaurant but still with plenty of atmosphere. For larger private parties, the conservatory is the star of the show: the largest dedicated space, seating up to 60 for dinner. And if you really want to make it a takeover, hiring the whole venue accommodates up to 132 guests for a seated private dining experience.
Wherever you end up, the space itself is playful and light-filled, with patterned tiles, timber tables, woven pendant lights, soft seating and Megan's signature decorative touches, creating an informal but polished backdrop for private celebrations, whether that's a birthday, work do or family gathering.
Food-wise, Megan's private dining menus lean into their Eastern Mediterranean roots, with sharing boards designed to bring people together. Expect punchy, feasting-style dishes packed full of flavour, alongside canapé and drinks packages for those after something a little more relaxed. Megan's on the Hill also runs on a minimum spend basis, keeping things simple and pricing transparent for anyone planning a private event.
