For private dining in the heart of Clerkenwell, The Crown Tavern offers a warm, characterful setting where good food and good company take centre stage. This newly refurbished British pub has several spaces available for group bookings, including the Apollo Room, which seats up to 30 guests, and the more intimate Clock Room, accommodating up to 20. Whether you’re bringing together friends and family for a special meal or organising a team lunch, client dinner or celebratory get-together, the pub’s flexible spaces can be arranged around your plans.
For a more formal occasion, The Crown Tavern's three-course feasting menu offers a generous way to settle in and enjoy the evening. It opens with whole baked sourdough and a choice of starters including garlic king prawns with chorizo, miso chicken skewers and crispy mozzarella with caprese salad, alongside a vegan cauliflower option. Mains range from miso-glazed salmon and chicken schnitzel to Cumberland sausage and mash, while an 8oz sirloin steak can be added for a supplement. Desserts round things off with sticky toffee pudding, apple and rhubarb crumble or triple chocolate brownie.
If you’re after something more relaxed, just look to The Crown Tavern's buffet menus. The Platinum selection includes calamari, miso chicken skewers, cheeseburger sliders, smoked salmon rillettes and handmade Scotch eggs, with vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes also covered. Desserts can be added for those who’d like to finish on something sweet.
Drinks can be arranged in advance, too, with packages spanning bottled beer, UK craft beer, premium wines, Prosecco and Moët & Chandon. There are also standard and premium spirits packages, plus pre-ordered cocktails and shots for groups looking to keep the celebrations going. Planning for business? The Apollo Room also offers Wi-Fi, a 52-inch LCD screen, HDMI cables and flip chart facilities, making The Crown Tavern equally suited to a productive meeting followed by a well-earned meal.
