Full Venue Hire at The Refinery Regent’s Place

Full venue hire at The Refinery Regent’s Place delivers a complete cocktail bar-restaurant with indoor-outdoor flow — bar, restaurant, open kitchen, and alfresco terrace combined into one hire for up to 340 standing or 120 seated. The space works as a single flowing venue with distinct zones rather than separate rooms, giving event planners flexibility to design how guests move through the evening.

The Refinery Regent’s Place Interior

The centrepiece is the statement cocktail bar built from stacked oak sleepers — a design feature that doubles as a visual anchor for receptions and a working stage for mixology masterclasses. Around it, the Scandinavian-inspired interior mixes natural timber, reclaimed brick, and copper accents with floor-to-ceiling windows that keep the space bright through daytime events. Seating zones shift from high stools at the bar through leather sofas and armchairs to the restaurant’s dining configurations, creating natural variety within the open plan. The open kitchen sits between the bar and restaurant, providing live culinary theatre during events. Chefs preparing food in full view adds energy and a talking point that static catering setups lack. Cabaret and theatre layouts work within the space at 80 and 100 capacity respectively, alongside seated dining for 120.

Terrace and Outdoor Events at The Refinery Regent’s Place

Bi-fold doors open onto the alfresco terrace overlooking Regent’s Place — approximately 100 covers furnished with comfortable armchairs, potted plants, oversized blankets, and heaters. The terrace operates year-round rather than just in summer months, making it a genuine second space for events in any season. Midsummer cocktail parties, autumn networking drinks, and winter celebrations all use the terrace as an extension of the main venue rather than a weather-dependent add-on. The sheltered, heated setup and comfortable furnishings mean guests settle in rather than stepping out briefly.

Events and Capabilities at The Refinery Regent’s Place

In-house catering covers seasonal British and European menus with sharing plates, bar snacks, and creative cocktails designed by the group’s mixology team. Projector and screen options support presentations and corporate content. The venue is wheelchair accessible with disabled facilities throughout. Birthday parties, engagement celebrations, Christmas events, and cocktail-focused gatherings all find appropriate format within the space. The open kitchen element distinguishes events here from static bar settings — the culinary activity becomes talking point and visual interest that carries through the evening. Corporate receptions and networking events benefit from the varied zones, guests naturally distributing between bar, restaurant, and terrace rather than clustering in one area. For businesses in the Regent’s Place district, this is a genuinely walkable option — teams can arrive on foot for after-work celebrations without navigating unfamiliar territory. But the cocktail credentials and design quality justify the journey for guests coming from elsewhere too. Warren Street tube is two minutes away, Euston Square five, and Regent’s Park extends just to the north. The alcohol licence provides evening flexibility, and the venue’s regular DJ and live event programming (including its Gospel Motown Brunch series) reflects a social infrastructure that benefits private hire.
