About

Looking for a private dining space in the City of London? The Anthologist by Drake & Morgan offers a range of spaces suited to everything from intimate dinners to larger group gatherings, with flexible options for both corporate and social occasions.

Set across a multi-level venue, the restaurant provides several distinct areas for private and semi-private dining. For smaller groups, the Chef’s Table seats up to eight guests and offers a direct view of the open kitchen, creating a more immersive experience. The Snug accommodates up to 24 guests and features wood-panelled walls, greenery and a tucked-away setting that still captures the energy of the main space.

For mid-sized groups, the Panel Room can host up to 30 guests in a light, neutral setting, while the Private Dining Room offers a more eclectic space, complete with a mezzanine level, exposed brick walls, soft furnishings and its own 1950s-style kitchen bar. Larger and more informal events can be hosted in the Deli, a quirky private room with direct street access, or in MIXO, which can accommodate up to 80 guests and is well suited to larger group dining or cocktail-making experiences.

Food can be tailored to suit the occasion, with options ranging from breakfast meetings with pastries and avocado on toast to buffet-style menus, grazing boards and set dinners. Dishes may include arancini, burrata and sea bass, alongside mains such as fish and chips, chicken Milanese or cheeseburgers, with desserts including sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownie or summer berry crumble. Drinks include a curated wine list, cocktails and sharing serves, with mixology classes available for groups.

With its flexible layout and varied menus, private dining at The Anthologist works well for everything from business meetings to celebrations with friends, family or colleagues.
