Harrild and Sons

Great place for your wedding, event or just a drink after work! We had our wedding reception there and wanted to thank Katia, Joseph and the H&S team for an amazing and unforgettable day! The food was incredible and everything from planning to the prep before the day was an absolute pleasure and breeze, enabling us to just sit back and enjoy. The downstairs cocktail bar was also a great hit, couldn’t recommend this venue higher.

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish, the venue was exactly what we were looking for and the hosts were flawless. So friendly and inviting.

We saw a lot of venues in London before we came across Urban and wish we'd found them sooner. They made everything so easy. Clare the events organiser and Dylan the Manager at Harrild and Son's were both fantastic. The venue itself was perfect, just what we were looking for; somewhere in central London that had plenty of character and wouldn't break the bank. We didn't have a sit down meal, we opted for canapés and bowl food which everyone raved about. We also loved Dylan's suggestion of a cocktail hour in the downstairs bar which went down very well with the guests! I couldn't have asked for a better venue, or better people to deal with in the run to the wedding. The staff on the night were also excellent.

The food, the drink, the decor, the staff, everything was amazing. Some highlights: • Late licence (3am). Every other venue in London finishes far too early because of neighbours but H&S is in the city and doesn’t have any. • Central London on a Saturday. Because there is no one about in the city on the weekend you can have exclusive use of the venue. o Note – we had our ceremony 5 mins walk at the museum of the order of St John. • Drink - We had a French sparkling to rival any champagne, and everyone had their favourite craft beer and cocktail. We were also able to bring some of our own red wine and pay corkage which was appreciated. • Food – This is where H&S really pulled it off by feeding 106 people a three-course meal (and people had options) of exceptional quality. • The decor – H&S has had a refurb and it looks amazing. Especially as it became evening and the low lighting came on. Moving to the cocktail lounge downstairs while the dining tables were moved was a nice touch too. • We skipped a DJ and used a Spotify playlist and a disco light which worked well. Ultimately we feel that Harrild and Sons worked very hard for our money and we had an amazing day.

My intention has been there but has failed to put finger to key pad, for which I sincerely apologise and do hope that my sincerity is evident when I thank you very, very much for making Celine & Jon’s wedding reception such a fantastically successful and much loved event. I recognise that the attendees naturally played a major part in the wonderful feeling pervading the day but it couldn’t have been sustained for as long and as late as it was without your superb organisation. The set up, the food and your management was brilliant, better than I expected. Thank you. On a much smaller but I think, significant aspect, thank you for saving for us the last of the wine that I brought….we have shared it again and particularly happily with my 91yr old mother in Hampshire, who was unable to attend the wedding. We actually dressed up to do a mini replay in her house…..and crucially, she approved of the wine. Thank you very much once again, Julian Jones.

Claire and the whole team at Harrild and Sons were amazing. We couldn’t of asked for a better day. The venue looked stunning and the team went out of their way to put up our many decorations and table settings. Everyone was raving about the food too, saying it was the best they have ever had at a wedding. You won’t regret booking! We loved our day there.

Despite the business changing hands before our wedding, the communication was excellent and the new events coordinator did everything to make the day go smoothly and pick up details from original booking. Excellent staff on the day, we love the venue so much it needed hardly any decorating which made it all stress free. Food was great, both sit down meal and evening snacks! Cocktails downstairs after dinner were loved by guests! Highly recommend!!

Lee Anne and I would like to say a huge thank you for everything at the weekend. Absolutely everything from the food to the wine to the service was perfect. Everybody has commented on how great the venue itself was, how amazing the food was and how friendly the staff there were so please pass on our thanks to the whole team there. We really couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding party! Paul
