PRIVATE PARTY VENUE & GROUP DINING IN MAYFAIR
Corporate Events & Private Dining Spaces
Do you have a special occasion to celebrate – a birthday, perhaps, or the office Christmas lunch? If you are looking for a corporate event space in Mayfair or somewhere central for a team-building dinner, El Pirata offers the perfect atmosphere to celebrate the conclusion of a cracking deal.
For small parties, there are two tables set in alcoves, each capable of seating seven – and then there’s a separate table in the main dining area for up to ten.
Welcome to the Secret Cellar (aka The Party Room)
Or if you’re planning something bigger, you can hire the whole room and we’ll set it up for a sit-down meal – or a standing buffet. We can even throw in a couple of guitarists or a special tasting of Spanish wines, if you like.
FLEXIBLE TAPAS MENUS FOR EVERY OCCASION
The best thing is that El Pirata of Mayfair is a tapas restaurant, and tapas is infinitely flexible. If you have vegetarians or vegans in your party, no problem – we already have a tasty vegetarian menu on offer. And because tapas is all small plates, you get to choose the perfect mix of Mediterranean food for your party guests.
