Casa do Frango Victoria

A minute from Victoria Station, Casa do Frango has established itself as one of the Nova development's standout restaurants by doing one thing with real conviction: Algarvian wood-charcoal grilled chicken, served in a space that feels more Lisbon than London. Portuguese azulejos tiles, hanging greenery, and expansive sun-catching windows across two floors create an atmosphere that's warm, characterful, and entirely its own — a sharp contrast to the functional hospitality that tends to cluster around major transport hubs.

Algarve Meets Victoria

The restaurant is part of the MJMK group, which has built Casa do Frango's reputation across multiple London locations on the strength of its charcoal grill and commitment to Portuguese sourcing. At Victoria, the formula works particularly well: the proximity to one of London's busiest interchange stations means guests arrive easily from anywhere in the city, while the Mediterranean interior ensures they forget the transport hub the moment they sit down.

The mezzanine level — with its own bar and capacity for up to 100 standing — operates as a semi-private events space above the main restaurant. The separation is enough to make private events feel self-contained while keeping the lively energy of the ground floor in the background.

Wood-Charcoal Character

Piri-Piri chicken from the charcoal grill is the centrepiece, supported by Portuguese sides, sharing plates, and a wine list that leans into producers from the Douro, Alentejo, and the Algarve itself. For events, this gives the food programme a genuine identity — far from the all-purpose catering menus that characterise most restaurant hires around Westminster.

Convenience Without Compromise

Sir Simon Milton Square sits directly beside Victoria Station — mainline rail, three tube lines, and bus routes in every direction. Few restaurant event venues in central London offer this level of transport access paired with a dining experience that has its own distinct character. The ground floor handles smaller group dining for up to 20, while the mezzanine serves larger events and private celebrations. Alcohol licence until midnight, near Buckingham Palace.
