Hosting a party or an event at a restaurant is a great way to bring together a group of people for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, corporate parties, holidays and festive celebrations. Do away with the stress of hosting and let us take care of you and your guests with our exceptional food and service while you create new memories at Gaucho…
Not quite sure where to start with hosting an event at Gaucho? There are few things to consider in organising your special dinner, that we have handily broken down in this guide:
1. Occasion and location
2. Guest list and dates
3. Choosing the perfect private dining room
4. Menus (and dietary requirements)
What’s the occasion? Defining the purpose of the event, while simple is an important first step to make. Considering this will help determining the perfect space and location menu choice, and even budget for your event.
At Gaucho we can cater to a range of various events such as festive group dinners, corporate private dinners, networking events, cocktail hours, anniversaries, birthdays, and all those special occasions in life that are worth marking in style.
We have 20 restaurants across London and the UK, plenty of options to suit you and your guests. Our London locations are scattered conveniently across the city from our central spots to our residential restaurants in Richmond and Hampstead, while our regional restaurants are well-located in their respective cities.
Determining the guest list numbers and sending out clear communication about dates and timings to attendees about the event is key. Whether you opt for an e-invite or bespoke printed invitations, ensuring your guests can confirm attendance in good time will help ensure your planning runs smoothly. Once guest lists are built and dates decided, we can help you choose the right venue and space to suit your needs, according to restaurant availability. For peak periods such as Christmas, we would recommend getting in touch as early as possible to ensure availability.
Our private dining rooms and spaces offer the perfect backdrop to your parties and events. Each room has its own unique qualities and distinct features. For example, in Newcastle, the 12-seater Anderson room is studded with hand-painted tiles from local artists. Our terrace in Hampstead offers a gorgeous setting suitable for 35 seated or 70 standing, available all year round for summer soirees to wintry fireside feasting. Our private bar at Sloane Avenue offers a vibrant space that is customisable for intimate gatherings or private business dinners for up to 55 standing guests. Take a look here to view all our various private dining rooms across London and the UK. We also offer full venue hire at our restaurants, please enquire with the team.
