Vagabond St Paul’s, due to open September 2025, is set to become one of the City’s most inviting private dining destinations. Housed in the former Channel 4 First Dates restaurant, it’s a space designed for connection where great wine, seasonal food, and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere come together. Whether you’re hosting a milestone birthday, a team celebration, or an intimate gathering with friends, it offers the kind of setting that makes events feel both special and relaxed.
At its heart, Vagabond is all about making wine accessible. Here, your guests can explore over 100 wines by the glass via self-pour taps, perfect for starting conversations and adding a playful twist to the evening. You can choose to simply enjoy the buzz of the main space or reserve an area that offers more privacy; the events team will tailor the layout, service, and extras to suit your group.
The menu is crafted to match the wine-led concept, with dishes designed for sharing. Nibbles like padrón peppers and basil hummus set the tone, while small plates such as burrata with peaches, croquetas iberico, or saffron and mozzarella arancini keep the table lively. For something more substantial, sharing plates like medium-rare hanger steak with chimichurri or a generous burrata with balsamic tomatoes make for a perfect centrepiece.
If you want to add an interactive element, Vagabond’s wine experiences, from beginner-friendly tastings to cheese-and-wine pairing masterclasses, are ideal for private groups. Guided by their expert hosts, they’re a fun way to learn while sipping, giving your event a unique edge.
Whether it’s an after-work gathering that spills into the evening, a family celebration where everyone finds their new favourite wine, or a corporate event that swaps formal speeches for clinking glasses, Vagabond St Paul’s delivers. You’ll have a dedicated Events Manager to guide you through the planning, ensuring every detail runs smoothly leaving you free to focus on enjoying the company, the food, and, of course, the wine.
With its prime location, stylish interiors, and relaxed approach to world-class wine, Vagabond St Paul’s is poised to become one of London’s most sought-after private dining spots.
