Casa do Frango

A converted 19th-century warehouse on Southwark Street, Casa do Frango has built its reputation on Portuguese fire-grilled chicken and a dining room that feels like it was always meant to be here — vaulted ceilings, arched windows, and the kind of honest brickwork that comes from a building with genuine industrial heritage rather than a fit-out designed to imitate one.

The restaurant spans three floors, each with its own character. The ground floor is the busiest — an open kitchen anchors the space, filling the room with the smell and theatre of live-fire cooking. It's the space that defines the Casa do Frango experience, and the one most event guests will remember. Upstairs, the atmosphere shifts. Boa Pinga operates as a cocktail bar with a deliberately different energy — warmer lighting, a more curated drinks programme, and a sense of arrival that separates it from the restaurant below.

A Borough Market Restaurant People Seek Out

With a 4.7-star Google rating from over 8,500 reviews, Casa do Frango isn't a venue guests need convincing about. That matters for event planners — hosting here carries built-in credibility. The piri-piri chicken has become a destination dish, and the broader Portuguese menu gives group dining a focus that generic restaurant buyouts often lack. Guests eat well, they know the restaurant's reputation, and the food becomes a talking point rather than a logistical box to tick.

Three Floors, Three Formats

The ground floor handles the bigger numbers — restaurant buyouts that feel celebratory rather than corporate. Boa Pinga upstairs contains smaller groups in its own atmosphere, away from the open-kitchen energy below. Boa Vida, the private dining room, seats a dozen guests around a single table for the kind of focused, food-led evening that suits client entertaining or milestone dinners. Full venue hire connects all three for events that want both scale and variety within a single building.

Southwark Street, Borough Market

Casa do Frango sits steps from Borough Market on a stretch of Southwark Street that has become one of south London's strongest food corridors. London Bridge station is a short walk, putting it within easy reach for corporate groups coming from the City or Canary Wharf. The neighbourhood context adds something — guests arrive into an area known for quality food and independent character, which sets the tone before they walk through the door.
