Palatino

You can certainly be assured of gastronomic delights when you hire space at Palatino for your business meetings and events, but what you also get is very attentive service and a snazzy yet sophisticated backdrop for up to 200 guests. Book this incredibly ambient Italian restaurant at the heart of Clerkenwell for banquets and private dining, parties and drinks receptions, awards ceremonies, exhibitions, conferences, product launches, team building events, training days and smaller informal meetings.

You see, they have a very flexible approach at Palatino and they'll adapt things to suit your event, whatever space you decide to hire. The whole venue holds up to 200 people for a reception or party, or at least 70 dining – and it's all yours, exclusively so. If you hire the bar on its own, there's capacity for 120 guests standing, or the restaurant holds 72. For smaller dinners or lunches book a banquet style table for up to 30, or a booth for up to 6.

They'll adapt the restaurant or bar to suit your event – the layout, the AV gear; Wifi is super speedy and of course they have a music license and a late license, so party on, enjoy yourselves. They can do bespoke food and drinks for you or you can choose from one of their competitively priced packages – canapes and drinks, parties, 3 or 4 course dinners, and Christmas celebrations.

Palatino is just a few minutes stroll from Old Street and Angel tube stations.
