Restaurant Package
The main Blackfriars Restaurant was originally built for the Dominican Friars as their refectory and so lays claim to be the oldest restaurant in the UK and holds up to 72 diners or 100 standing. We can tailor your occasion to provide a bespoke package which may include a simple 3 course lunch or something more extravagant including a red carpet, a Champagne or cocktail reception in the medieval courtyard (weather permitting), a delicious 3 or 4 course meal, wine, mineral water, a Champagne toast, coffee, chocolates and the exclusive use of Blackfriars Restaurant. Three course lunches start from as little as £15 per person whilst an all-inclusive Saturday night package might cost £60 plus per person.
There is generally no-cost to hire the restaurant dining room, however, minimum spends for exclusive use start at £1,750 for Sundays, Mondays & Tuesdays; £2,500 on Wednesdays & Thursdays, £3,000 on Fridays and £4,000 on Saturdays.
