Can I hire a private room in a pub?

A lot of pubs offer private dining rooms and semi-private areas that can be hired separately from the main bar area. These spaces are ideal for meetings, birthday parties, networking events, Christmas parties, and celebrations.

How much does hiring a pub cost?

Most pubs will operate on a minimum spend basis, while some of the fancier ones may charge a venue hire fee in addition to food and drink costs. Other factors that will have to be considered are location, guest numbers, and whether you’re happy with a private room or want to exclusively hire the entire venue.

Are pubs suitable for corporate events?

Yes! Pubs are getting increasingly popular for corporate events because they offer a more relaxed atmosphere than a traditional conference or meeting venue.

Can I hire a pub with outdoor spaces?

Lots of pubs have beer gardens, terraces, courtyards, and rooftop spaces that can be hired for private events. These spaces are especially popular for summer parties.

How far in advance should I book a pub venue?

Pubs are a little easier to secure, especially if you have a small group. If you’re planning a large Christmas party, summer party, or looking at exclusive hire, it’s worth booking a few months in advance so you get first choice on date and location.

Do pubs have food and drink packages?

Most pubs offer a variety of catering options, ranging from buffets, sharing platters, canapes, private dining menus, and drinks packages. Most offer inhouse catering, which makes it easier to nail down a menu that works for your budget.

Hiring a pub is quintessentially British. Casual pubs suit birthday parties and socials, pubs with private dining rooms suit meetings, gastropubs feel more upscale, and pub gardens are made for a summer party.

Introduction to Pub Venues

Find a Pub Venue with VenueScanner

With over 20,000 venues listed on our platform, VenueScanner is so much easier to use than Google for your pub venue search. You can filter it by budget, city, capacity, and more, which helps narrow down your choices to the pubs that really make sense for you and your event.

When to Hire a Pub

Pubs are a great shout when you need to hire a venue for an event but you’re not looking to spend a fortune. Most pubs will operate on a minimum spend, which means all of your budget goes towards food and drink. Pubs are really versatile which means they’re great for both private and corporate events.

You can host a Christmas or summer party for your team, do some really cool brand activations or product launches and even have drinks receptions or networking events.

For private events, they’re a good idea because you can find pubs in whatever neighbourhood you need. Host a birthday party, engagement party, or a wedding in one of the beautiful pubs found across the UK.

I worked with Marie to source a venue for a 2 day work event. She was very professional and efficient and found us a great shortlist of venues of which we booked one. It was excellent and a great recommendation. Great job Marie, thank you!

Deirdre

As we’re remote workers without much direct knowledge of the area, Megan at Venuescanner really saved us with some great suggestions that all met our brief but had enough differences to help us evaluate the best ‘vibe’ for our event. Megan was always there to cater to our evolving brief and was a great coordinator between us and all the other services she recommended. We’ll definitely work with VenueScanner again.

Angus Knight Group

Marie was amazing helping us to source amazing event spaces for 5 leadership summits at TikTok. She was super helpful, took the burden of us sourcing and negotiating deals and super responsive and always on top of everything! I love the service venuescanner provides and we will be definitely be using them again!

Aaron Lawder

I was so pleased to run across VenueScanner as our organization was looking for a place to host our 50th celebration. Jess made the process so easy, asked what our needs and wants were and also found us the perfect location that was within our budget! As small nonprofit this is a great service, I highly recommend them, and we will use them again in the future.

Debbie

Kate was lovely and so helpful in finding us the perfect venue for our conference this year. This is the 2nd year that we have used Venue Scanner and yet again they took the stress out of trying to find something that suits our growing business.
