Nestled in Central London, Joe Allen Restaurant is a cosy and welcoming venue for intimate wedding celebrations. Since 1977, this Covent Garden establishment has been hosting creatives like actors and musicians, bringing them together over good food and good times.

Facilities and Capacity

Named after its owner, London’s Joe Allen Restaurant is the sister restaurant to the original New York location. Mirroring the vibe of a New York City watering hole, this inspired space features dark wood pannelling on the walls, soft candlelight, and deep, rich hues throughout. Live piano music drifts through the bar, setting the tone for a fantastic evening for up to 150 guests to gather in celebration of your love. The main dining room, also known as the Theatreland Canteen, radiates charm in a relaxed atmosphere where you and your loved ones can enjoy a delicious meal with impeccable service. The American menus feature incredible offerings, like steak with fries and a peppercorn sauce or hot smoked salmon fishcakes with spinach and a dill and caper dressing.

Services Offered

To bring your vision to life, there are several exclusive hire party packages available, which are flexible to suit your needs. Exclusive hire of the venue can be arranged for 150 individuals standing or 120 seated, while group dining for 10-70 individuals can also be booked in a semi-private setting. Couples can organise everything from the menu to drinks packages, while buffet dinners can also be organised. Being in Covent Garden, this restaurant is centrally located with access to public transportation for ease of both local and out-of-town guests alike. There are plenty of nearby hotels and other accommodations for your guests, should they wish to stay the night. In the morning, they can explore all that this area of London has to offer, from the city’s best theatres to shopping and more.
