How many guests can Hyde Park Rooms host for private dining?

Private dining is hosted across two smaller rooms — the 12-seat Cromwell Boardroom and the 40-seat Hamilton Room — while the wider townhouse accommodates seated dinners for up to 180 and receptions for up to 220 across the Whitelands Ballroom.

Are the menus seasonal and can dietary requirements be accommodated?

Menus rotate each season and are built around British produce sourced within 60 miles of London. The six in-house executive chefs design bespoke menus for allergens, religious diets, and multi-course tasting formats on request.

What wine pairings are offered with private dining?

A sommelier-curated wine list is offered alongside every private dining menu, with optional pairings selected to match each course. The list is weighted toward low-intervention European producers and can be tailored to budget and preference.

Can I host a private dinner and a separate meeting in another room on the same day?

Yes. All eight rooms sit on a single private floor, so a board meeting, lunch, and evening dinner can be hosted under one roof with a dedicated event director coordinating the full day.

How quickly does the team respond to private dining enquiries?

The concierge team responds to enquiries in an average of under 38 minutes during business hours, and a dedicated event director is assigned to every booking from first contact through to the day itself.

The Programme

A restaurant with rooms. A townhouse with a kitchen.

Private dining at Hyde Park Rooms is not a back room off a restaurant. It is the inverse: a Grade II-listed townhouse — eight rooms on a single private floor — with a kitchen of its own. The kitchen holds two Michelin Bib Gourmand awards for the private dining menu (2022, 2024), and is led by six executive chefs whose produce is sourced within sixty miles of London.

We were founded in 2009 by hospitality veterans from The Ritz and Claridge's. In the sixteen years since, our team of thirty-eight — including the six chefs and fourteen event directors — has staged more than 4,200 confirmed events for FTSE boardrooms, sovereign embassies, and the families who mark the milestones of a London life. Every booking is overseen by a dedicated event director. There are no call centres and no hand-offs.

What follows is the dining programme in its own words: the rooms most often set for the table, the seasonal menus the kitchen sends through, and the chefs and sommelier who plan each one.

Ground Floor · 12 Seated

The Cromwell Boardroom

For the executive dinner that still has an agenda.

A wood-panelled twelve-seater set around a single rectangular mahogany table, the Cromwell is the room our hosts choose when the evening is a working dinner that must feel like a celebration rather than a meeting that ran late. Original portraits, a green-shaded banker's lamp, and sash windows onto Bayswater Road. Most often seated at one table for twelve; can be set for eight at the rectangular and four at the round.

Capacity: 12 seated at one table · 18 for a canapé reception
Seating: Single rectangular, or rectangular + round for eight and four
Best For: Executive dinners, board offsites, intimate client entertaining

First Floor · 36 Seated

The Hamilton Room

For the milestone that should still feel composed.

The Hamilton is the room our hosts book for the larger milestone — the retirement dinner, the engagement, the family birthday that has gathered three generations under one roof. A long oval table for up to thirty-six, cream silk drapes, a single overmantel mirror, parquet floor. Set for one long table, or for two rounds of twelve at smaller celebrations.

Capacity: 36 seated at one oval · 24 at two rounds · 50 for a canapé reception
Seating: Single oval, or two round tables of twelve
Best For: Milestone celebrations, engagement dinners, anniversary lunches

The Hands At The Pass

Six chefs. One sommelier. One menu at a time.

The Bib Gourmand recognition belongs to the kitchen, and the kitchen belongs to six executive chefs and a sommelier who plan each private dining menu from the first canapé to the last petit-four. The kitchen has been carbon-neutral certified by Carbon Trust since 2021, and every ingredient on the plate is traceable to a farm, fishery, or grower within sixty miles of London.

— Executive Chef, M. Aubert

We do not cook for a room. We cook for the twelve — or the thirty-six — who have given us their evening. The menu is built around what they want the night to feel like, and what the farms around London are sending us that week.
