Private Dining & Events in King’s Cross | Hawksmoor St Pancras

Private Dining, Groups & Events

Housed within one of London’s most iconic buildings, Hawksmoor St Pancras offers a spectacular setting with a true sense of occasion.

Set beneath soaring neo-Gothic arches and surrounded by extraordinary historic detail, it’s an unforgettable venue for everything from intimate private dinners to large celebrations, cocktail receptions, product launches and corporate events. 

Topping the World’s Best Steak Restaurant lists, Hawksmoor has a global reputation for excellence. Food revolves around dry-aged steaks from Britain’s best family farms and sustainably sourced seafood, simply cooked over charcoal for a distinctive depth of flavour. Cocktails and wine are equally celebrated, with our Martini Bar at St Pancras becoming a destination in its own right.

Sir Gilbert Scott’s Room

Named after Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect behind this remarkable building, the Gilbert Scott Room is made for private dinners and smaller gatherings that want a bit of atmosphere without any fuss. Tucked just off the Martini Bar, it feels quietly grand: deep blue walls, warm lighting, rich wood, a handsome fireplace and a long table that brings everyone together nicely.

It is fully private, comfortably self-contained and equipped with full AV capability, making it just as suited to business dinners and presentations as birthdays, celebrations and long lunches that run on a bit. In other words, all the character of St Pancras, with the door closed behind you.

The Restaurant

The main dining room at Hawksmoor St Pancras is the sort of space that does a lot of the heavy lifting before the first martini even arrives. Vast, dramatic and unmistakably St Pancras, it pairs soaring ceilings, grand original detail and long lines of leather booths with the warm, easy atmosphere Hawksmoor is known for. It feels impressive without ever becoming stiff — just as suited to a polished drinks party as it is to a full-scale celebration.

Available for semi-private or exclusive hire, the restaurant works brilliantly for standing receptions, seated dinners and events that want a bit of theatre built in. With space for up to 90 seated guests on full hire, plus Wi-Fi, AV, DJs, entertainment, drinks packages, bowl food, canapés, terrace access and a cloakroom, it is a flexible, high-impact setting for corporate events, private parties and any gathering that deserves a room people will talk about afterwards.

Martini Bar

Enter through what were once Europe’s first revolving doors and you arrive in the Martini Bar — a room that makes an entrance before your guests even have the chance to. Triple-height and gloriously dramatic, it is all gilded stonework, painted ceilings and Gothic Revival grandeur, reimagined as a rather handsome shrine to the martini.

For private events, it is as flexible as it is striking. Take it over for drinks parties and standing receptions of up to 120, host a private dinner for up to 50, or spill out onto the covered, heated terrace for up to 40 more. It works beautifully for celebrations, launches, corporate events and parties that want a bit of theatre built in. In other words: a room with serious presence, proper drinks credentials and just the right amount of swagger.

Hawksmoor Martini Terrace

The Hawksmoor Martini Terrace at St Pancras brings a private-events feel to drinks parties in one of London’s most striking settings. Just beyond the Martini Bar, this covered, heated terrace offers a distinctive space for smaller gatherings, with its own bar, a drinks-led atmosphere and the grandeur of St Pancras all around it. It works brilliantly for standing receptions, client drinks, birthday celebrations and pre- or post-event cocktails that want a little more character than the usual corner of a bar. Intimate but full of occasion, it is a space made for martinis, good conversation and events that feel quietly special from the moment guests arrive.
