The Vintry, EC4 — Restaurant in London

An amazing wedding reception venue!

We recently held our wedding reception at The Vintry and had a fantastic experience. We had c.120 people for a 3 course sit down meal and an additional 50 or so guests for dancing in the evening. Even with staff turnover during the planning process the events team, particularly Layla, managed to maintain consistency and deliver a great service.

They were helpful at all stages, answering the millions of questions we had in the months leading up, letting us drop off decorations in the week leading up to the wedding and were even willing to hold off putting up their Christmas decorations until after our wedding (at the end of November) which other local venues were not flexible on. The venue itself has a number of different areas which can be used for a kids room/photobooth/evening food/cloakroom and this space and flexibility is hard to find in a relaxed pub venue.

On the day itself the team did an incredible job setting up the venue with the decorations we provided and clearly dedicated a lot of time and effort to ensure it looked perfect, adding some lovely creative touches of their own. We were really blown away when we walked in. All of our guests commented on the quality of the food that was served and we were really impressed with the consistency and delivery given the number of guests we had. The staff on the day were all incredibly friendly and had huge smiles on their faces from when we arrived in the afternoon until we left in the early hours - this made for a really nice environment for us and our guests. It was clear Layla and the team cared about making the day special for us.

We thoroughly recommend The Vintry for anyone looking for a London pub reception - or any event! A huge thank you to all of the team - we will...

We booked the Vintry for our wedding, and it was one of best decisions we ever made! The Vintry were highly supportive of the highly detailed and complex ideas that we wanted to include. Nothing was too much trouble, and the two key managers in this process - Loredana and Fabio - were amazingly patient with talking through our various requirements with timings, menus, decor, entertainment, etc., On the actual day, everything executed by The Vintry exceeded expectations. The food and service overall were excellent, and the actual customer care was outstanding. No-one ever had an empty glass and the tables were kept tidy throughout the event. The staff were so responsive, warm and friendly with all our guests - even the really awkward ones - and proactively made sure everyone had what they needed. The leadership and management of the team was exceptional and we had an...

This is our office's favourite place for after work drinks, honestly! They've recently started serving people outside - putting orders through on the iPad and then staff comes bring you your drinks as you're standing outside. Which means everyone gets to group in the sun and not take turns going inside for rounds! I've not yet seen any other pubs or bars do that, so kudos to The Vintry.

But most importantly, an immense thank you to Lily, who approached our group a few times on Friday and served us all evening - kept an eye on our drinks as they were empty, was always friendly and kind and available. :) This has been, by far, the best service and treatment we've received in all local bars. Big thank you to Lily! Looking forward to seeing you...
