I Hired thw terrace bar in The Chapel for my wifes 60th Birthday. well i say hire i did not have to pay any hire fee. We had about 30 Guests, as per usual you get a lot of drop outs on the day. I had gone to see the venue once while i was up in London and it looked ideal for what i needed. Luke the Manager was so easy to contact by email and swift to reply . I ordered 60 cocktails for the guests on arrival and some amazing home made pizzas for eats. They also have an extensive canape, buffet and 3 course dinner options. On the evening the place was perfect all the Guests loved it. The variety of drinks in offer was impressive Nd even though they dont have draught beer upstairs , the staff were happy to go down and get pints for gueats who wanted them. All in all it was a huge success. I dont mind sayi g it cost me £1200 for all the cocktais and pizzas plus service to pay the staff. Plus on the evening we spent over £800 in the bar , hence no hire cost needed. Finally my deposit of £400 was returned on mh card with in 5 working days which was great. So if you want a gathering i would really recommend the Chapel. Plus so close to Angel Tube . Many Thanks Jonathan

We recently hosted our engagement party at chapel bar , and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the staff were so lovely and welcoming — they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely at ease. The venue itself was beautifully set up, and all our guests commented on how great the atmosphere was. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the team — they were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our night special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend chapel bar to anyone planning a celebration. Thank you so much for helping make our engagement party so memorable! 💕

I really enjoyed my experience with the Chapel Bar! The location was perfect for a night out/private after-party in London. The minimum spend was decent and the bar staff were communicative throughout the night about how much was being spent. Communication before the event was consistent and I was allowed to tour the venue, which helped when choosing decorations. My guests had a great time (as did I). I very much recommend!

We recently celebrated our joint 50th birthday at The Chapel Bar, and honestly — we couldn’t have asked for a better night! From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely lovely — the kind of team that just gets it right without you even needing to ask. The canapés were fabulous, the drinks flowed perfectly, and that chocolate cake… well, let’s just say it deserves its own fan club. We’ve had a flood of messages from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the evening — and we couldn’t agree more. A huge thank you to Luke, who helped us plan everything down to the last detail, Alex, who sorted the most scrumptious cake imaginable, and the amazing team on the night, who went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests were looked after. The whole evening ran like a dream — and if turning 50 means celebrating in this style, we might just start planning our 60th already! 🎉 Thank you, Team Chapel Bar, for making it unforgettable!

We held an event at the Chapel Bar to celebrate our fifth anniversary as a company, and to launch our new series of audio dramas. We couldn’t have asked for a better space! We make audio content, so a good quality sound system was important, and these guys delivered! Our stuff sounded incredible through their sound setup and really helped make the night what it was. Bar staff were amazing all night, fully stocked and got through 50 guests with ease. Great atmosphere, brilliant communication leading up to the event, deposit returned swiftly. Genuinely have nothing negative to say and we can’t wait to return for our next celebration!
