For a private meal with a little more character than a conventional dining room, The Castle Farringdon offers a suitably individual setting in the heart of the City. The Lounge Bar is the main space for private gatherings, accommodating up to 35 guests seated or 60 standing, while the upstairs Meeting Space seats up to 20 and is designed with more business-focused occasions in mind. Together, they cover everything from client lunches and team dinners to birthday celebrations and milestone meals.
The Lounge Bar offers a backdrop that feels relaxed enough for a social celebration but polished enough for entertaining clients, bringing together the eccentricity of a traditional British pub with a bold, bohemian look. The Meeting Space takes a more functional approach, with complimentary Wi-Fi, a 50-inch LCD TV with HDMI cables, flip chart and stationery, plus an urn stocked with filter coffee and teas. It’s a practical option for a meeting that needs to transition neatly into lunch.
The Castle Farringdon's three-course feasting menu is well suited to a sit-down meal, beginning with whole baked sourdough and offering starters such as baked king prawns and chorizo, fried chicken with chilli honey, crispy fried mozzarella and crispy cauliflower with gochujang mayo. Mains keep things hearty, from pan-fried seabass and chicken schnitzel to British pork sausage and mash and the pie of the day. An 8oz sirloin is also available as a supplement. Sticky toffee pudding, crumble and triple chocolate brownie provide a suitably comforting finish.
For a less formal gathering, The Castle Farringdon team can organise buffet and smaller-plate options, while drinks packages can be pre-ordered to keep the logistics simple. Options range from Peroni, Corona and craft beer to standard or premium wine, Prosecco, Champagne and spirits, with low and no-alcohol choices available too.
