PRIVATE HIRE AT
THE BLACK FRIAR

YOUR SPACE IN THE CITY

The Black Friar Public House + Restaurant has risen from the ashes, lovingly restored to be bigger and better than its previous incarnations. We like to think it’s somewhere everyone feels at home.

So what better place to gather with colleagues, friends or family? We have a variety of beautiful spaces which provide the perfect atmosphere for any occasion, from intimate dinners for 10 to full venue hire up to 250 guests.

If you’re planning something special be sure to get in touch. As the wise words carved above our door say, you may go further, and fare worse.

Get in touch and let us take care of the rest. We’re able to create everything especially for you – everything from florals, vintage glassware and linen for table styling to bespoke menus and one-of-a-kind cocktails. Enquire for more info + prices.

The Black Friar is now an approved premises for civil partnerships and wedding ceremonies, too! Have your wedding ceremony here for an additional fee – we’ll provide a list of preferred celebrants, or bring your own.

Our menus are all expertly curated by our Head Chef, Ben Chaplin. We’re always happy to tailor menus to suit taste and budget, having put together 2&3 course sit downs, canapés and even grazing stations.

From lager and stout to champagne and one-of-a-kind cocktails, our bartenders can help create your perfect drinks reception. We also offer tea, coffee and more for decidedly less boozy events.
