What is a private dining room?

A private dining room is a secluded area, section or room in a restaurant or venue where you can enjoy a dining experience with a select number of guests, away from the main restaurant. They are perfect for small weddings, birthday parties and corporate meetings and events.

How to choose a theme for your private dining event

The theme of your event immediately turns your occasion into an experience and plays a crucial role in shaping the entire occasion. From informal platters of snacks to formal events with silver cutlery, the theme you choose will have a big impact on the style, feel and atmosphere of the entire event.

Private dining menu choice

The beauty of fine dining is the versatility of the cuisine on offer, and when it comes to private dining, food is the ultimate focal point. With so much focus on the culinary experience, it is crucial that the menu choice perfectly suits the occasion, the taste buds of your guests and ultimately your budget.

If you're looking for a casual, relaxed dining experience for your guests, sharing platters with your favorite cuisine for a shared dining-style experience is the answer. Or if you're looking for a more formal affair, turn heads with a delicious set menu served on silver tableware.

Dietary requirements

When planning your event, make sure you thoroughly research dietary requirements to ensure your guests are perfectly catered for. Discussing vegetarian and vegan options, as well as specific allergies, ensures that all guests can enjoy the food and not feel alienated.

Important questions to ask when organizing a private dinner

When choosing your private dining room, there are a few important questions to ask as you organize it. Examples could be:

• What dining rooms are there?
• Are the dining rooms private or semi-private?
• What is the capacity of the dining room and what are the costs per person?
• What are the culinary options for private dining and what impact do they have on costs?
• How can the private dining room be decorated and themed for your tailor-made event?

How much does private dining cost?

Costs are crucial when it comes to organizing events. The total cost per person will have a significant impact on the size of the venue you choose, the style of the cuisine and the number of guests you invite. Make sure that the drinks are also included in the costs, so that you are not faced with any surprises when paying.

Choosing the best private dining location

When you organize a luxury private dining experience, you want everyone on your guest list to be able to attend. So choosing the location of the event is crucial. A centrally located location is not just an optionig for your guests, but also offers numerous options for using public transport, increasing the chance that your guests can attend. A central location also offers guests the opportunity to book a hotel room and spend the night.
