The Cavendish in Marylebone offers two elegant private dining spaces for celebrations, business gatherings and special occasions, combining sophisticated interiors with flexible dining and drinks options in central London. Tucked above the main gastropub, the Private Dining Room and Upstairs Dining Lounge provide stylish settings for everything from family dinners and anniversaries to corporate meetings, birthdays and canape receptions.
Seating up to 17 guests, the Private Dining Room has an intimate yet refined atmosphere. A long dark wood banquet table is framed by deep blue velvet seating, while navy wooden panelling, neutral upper walls and a mirror-backed bar displaying the spirit collection create an elegant backdrop for private dinners. The room is equally suited to business lunches and meetings, with a smart, secluded feel that works beautifully for smaller gatherings.
For larger groups, the Upstairs Dining Lounge accommodates up to 35 seated guests and is ideal for relaxed private dining, cocktail parties and celebratory receptions. Downstairs, the venue’s striking wraparound bar with red leather stools adds to the character of this stylish Marylebone gastropub, offering a welcoming space for guests to enjoy drinks before or after their event.
Menus are centred around seasonal British cooking, with a la carte dining, bar sharing plates and traditional Sunday roasts all available. Guests can enjoy starters such as oysters, smoked duck breast and blowtorched Dorset mackerel before moving on to dishes including sirloin steak, pan-fried cod with monk’s beard and rock samphire, or corn fritters with sour cream and chilli salad. Desserts include Eton mess, red Thai tea panna cotta and ice cream.
The seasonal cocktail list adds an inventive touch, with drinks crafted using surplus ingredients from the kitchen. Signature serves include the Mediterranean Spritz and the Mermaid’s Garden, plus alcohol-free options such as the Peach Cobbler. A dedicated dog menu also means four-legged guests are welcome to join the occasion.
