Description
Celebration is at the heart of what we do at Camberwell Arms, and we’d love to be part of yours ✨
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, we offer two ways to host your day with us.
🍽️ Our Private Room
Tucked upstairs, our light-filled private dining room has its own bar and a relaxed, elegant feel. It’s well suited to seated meals of up to 50 guests, with space for up to 65 for drinks and dancing afterwards. Available for lunch, dinner or full-day hire, it’s an ideal setting for more intimate occasions.
🏛️ Full Venue Hire
For larger celebrations, we offer a limited number of full hires each year. Hosting up to 110 guests across two floors, the space allows for a day that flows naturally — from a shared meal into an evening of drinks and dancing. Our approach is simple and supportive, with our team on hand throughout to help shape a day that feels relaxed, personal and full of life.
🥗 Our Menus
Our feasting menus are built around the food we love to cook and eat — generous, seasonal and rooted in great ingredients. From vibrant vegetables to carefully sourced meats and produce, everything is chosen with attention and care. Dishes are served to share, creating a sense of abundance and encouraging conversation around the table.
We offer set menus for private dining bookings, while full hires are completely bespoke, shaped around your plans and your day.
If you’re planning something special, we’d be very happy to talk it through with you 🥂✨

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We had the pleasure of hosting Raine and Freddie’s wedding last December ✨
They welcomed 50 guests for their meal, starting the day with drinks and canapés in our downstairs space on arrival. Guests then moved upstairs into our Private Room for an intimate but lively shared feast.
Later in the evening, an additional 70 guests joined the celebrations for a brilliant party — complete with an Elvis impersonator and plenty of dancing 🥂
A truly joyful day from start to finish.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Focus on what matters most to the two of you, and don’t feel the need to please everyone.
