With a private dining room, a semi-private mezzanine, and full exclusive hire available, The Coal Shed can accommodate parties of varying sizes, with sharing menus specifically designed to delight groups.
Private dining in London: special occasions, events, and parties celebrated with fire and flair.
Whether you’re planning a corporate dinner for clients or colleagues, a birthday blowout, or even your wedding celebration, The Coal Shed can offer private venue hire in London for the occasion.
Just moments from Tower Bridge and within walking distance of London Bridge, our restaurant brings together striking interiors, exceptional food cooked over fire and versatile private dining rooms — ideal for everything, including intimate dinners to large-scale event hire.
Set across two floors, the restaurant features a stylish ground-floor bar and dining room, a semi-private mezzanine and a beautifully appointed private dining room upstairs. Each space offers its own atmosphere, but they all share the same energy: warm, professional hospitality, impressive food and a relaxed sense of luxury.
A COAL-FIRED CHRISTMAS IN LONDON
Christmas is fire, flavour, and feasts made to be shared.
Our festive menus bring it all to the table: glazed pigs in blankets, treacle-cured salmon, whole brill with nduja butter, chateaubriand with smoked bone marrow, and our Winter Pavlova to finish. Right by Tower Bridge, The Coal Shed turns Christmas into a celebration with bite. No matter if it’s a cosy dinner or a full venue takeover for 110 guests, with our fire-crackled dishes, flowing wine and cocktails, the Coal Shed brings the heat, the sparkle, and the feast.
The Private Dining Room
Intimate, impressive and completely yours.
Tucked away upstairs, our private dining room is a smart, self-contained space for up to 14 guests on one long table or up to 20 across two. It’s fully equipped for business or pleasure — with a 54-inch Smart Art TV for presentations or photo slideshows, and enough comfort and character to host a boardroom lunch, a wedding dinner or a celebration worth toasting.
The Mezzanine
Semi-private dining in London with full atmosphere.
Our mezzanine wraps around the first floor and looks down over the restaurant — giving your group a bit more privacy without losing the atmosphere. Designed with group dining and events in mind, this flexible part of our London private hire venue can accommodate up to 30 guests for a seated meal or 45 standing for drinks and bites.
Planning something a little larger? For groups over 30, we can open the adjoining private dining room to give you exclusive use of the entire first floor — perfect for company celebrations, big birthday dinners, or special occasions with a few more names on the guest list. With space for up to 50 guests seated, this is where the big moments happen — surrounded by fire-cooked food, great wine, and your favourite people.
Full & Exclusive Private Hire
Your own space — with room to turn it up.
Looking to take over the entire space? We can make that happen. The Coal Shed London is available for exclusive hire — whether you’re hosting a conference dinner, planning a launch event or organising an unforgettable wedding reception with serious flavour.
Group Dining Menus
Big flavours. Shared plates. Designed to bring people together.
Our chefs have created seasonal set menus designed specifically for groups — with the same attention to detail and top-quality ingredients we’re known for. Choose between individually plated courses or opt for a more social, sharing-style spread that brings the fire-grilled flair to the middle of the table, including sharing steaks. On Sundays, our group Roast Menu is also available, turning classic comfort food into a long, indulgent afternoon worth gathering for.
