Plaisterers’ Hall is one of the grandest Livery Halls in the City of London — where modern elegance meets timeless neoclassical charm. Each winter, the Hall transforms into a magical festive setting, perfect for clients seeking a traditional Christmas celebration filled with warmth, atmosphere, and exceptional food.

Guests are welcomed into a glittering space adorned with seasonal décor and the soft glow of candlelight, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our local choir of carol singers — often performing from the balcony high above the dining guests — fills the Hall with joyful melodies, creating a beautifully festive ambience without being intrusive. It’s a truly unique experience that captures the spirit of Christmas in the City.

Our festive dining package offers incredible value, including exclusive venue hire, elegant decorations, exquisite menus, premium drinks, and entertainment — all from just £125 + VAT per person.

For those seeking a more relaxed celebration, our festive standing reception package is equally popular. From chic canapés and indulgent bowl food to late-night snacks and an open bar, it’s a lively, sociable way to toast the season — available from £99 + VAT per person.

As a fully exclusive venue, Plaisterers’ Hall gives clients complete freedom to bring their vision to life. With minimal restrictions and 24-hour access, the possibilities are endless — whether it’s transforming the space with bespoke décor, live entertainment, or creative catering concepts.

Plaisterers’ Hall offers versatility, grandeur, and festive spirit in perfect harmony — making every celebration truly spectacular.

Every year, we partner with Chic to unveil a brand-new festive theme at Plaisterers’ Hall — transforming our historic venue into a Christmas masterpiece. In 2024, we embraced a regal festive aesthetic, with luxurious gold and navy décor setting an opulent tone throughout the Hall. Real fir trees, twinkling fairy lights, and grand door arches framed the space, while soft uplighting brought everything to life as night fell.
The pièce de résistance — our magnificent 21-foot Christmas tree — takes pride of place in the Great Hall, creating a breathtaking focal point for guests as they dine beneath its shimmering lights.
Adding to the splendour, the Great Hall features three 15-foot sparkling chandeliers and a fully customisable lighting system that allows us to transform the atmosphere in an instant. From golden glows during dinner to cool, vibrant tones for dancing, we tailor the ambience perfectly to every stage of the evening — a detail that truly sets us apart.
Our state-of-the-art sound system enhances the experience even further, filling every corner of the venue — from the cloakroom and entrance hall to the main event space — with festive music. Whether clients choose their own playlist or let us set the soundtrack, the result is a seamless, joyful energy that carries throughout the night.
From dazzling décor to immersive sound and lighting, every element at Plaisterers’ Hall is designed to elevate the festive spirit and create celebrations that sparkle from start to finish.
This year, we are opting for a ‘winter wonderland meets Narnia’ theme. Choosing white and warm lights, golds and creams, as well as pinecones, furs, feathers, snowflakes and reindeers. We always ensure we have a ‘picture wall’ which is an area elaborately decorated for guests to have their photo taken. This is always a huge crowd pleaser.

We work in partnership with Company of Cooks who take many initiatives to be socially responsible, whilst trying to minimise their operation on the planet. From creating careers for local people to helping their valued larder suppliers and protecting the planet. All this is to benefit the local, regional and global community, with employment opportunities for local people and buying through their hand-picked larder of artisan suppliers .
They apply a ‘local larder’ philosophy to our partner venues with the UK divided into regions, each boasting a larder of high-quality suppliers across all key categories.
The London Larder brings together our London-based suppliers for a bespoke approach; think high-end British charcuterie from Cobble Lane, cheeses from Paxton & Whitfield or the finest tapenade from Belazu; our Larder delivers exceptional quality food with a story to tell. Offering the finest ingredients, with less delivery miles.
They work hard to help our us achieve our zero carbon and zero waste goals. This includes partnering up with schemes such as Olio, Too Good to Go and Neighbourly to distribute surplus food to communities and individuals. All food waste is weighed and tracked and portion sizes adjusted accordingly, on a weekly basis.
Company of cooks are also partnered with Well Grounded, an award-winning social enterprise, launched in 2016 to support the UK’s unemployed with the skills to access sustainable careers in coffee. They create social change by partnering with the coffee industry to provide opportunities for skilled, passionate and committed individuals to grow.
On top of all this, they hold ‘The Good Egg’ award, promote delicious plant based dishes and only serve ethical seafood that is declared ‘good to eat’ by the Marine Conservation Society.

We go beyond the traditional fine dining experience to deliver something truly personal and unforgettable. Our intimate tastings invite clients behind the scenes, where our planning team and head chef collaborate closely to perfect every flavour, texture, and presentation. Together, we craft menus that tell a story — your story — ensuring each dish reflects your vision and occasion.
Seasonality is at the heart of everything we do. Our menus change with the seasons, showcasing the freshest, ripest ingredients at their peak. But we don’t stop at what’s listed — we love to create bespoke, themed menus that capture imagination and celebrate individuality. From refined classics with a modern twist to bold, creative concepts, our culinary team thrives on bringing ideas to life.
Each of our packages is entirely bespoke, designed to suit your event perfectly. During the festive season, this flexibility shines brighter than ever. Whether it’s an elegant Christmas dinner, a glittering corporate celebration, or an intimate winter gathering, we curate immersive experiences that capture the magic of the holidays. Think custom tasting menus, expertly paired wines, seasonal décor, and entertainment that complements the atmosphere — all seamlessly coordinated to ensure no two celebrations are ever the same.
With creativity, craftsmanship, and care in every detail, we transform dining into an experience that lingers long after the last course.

In summary, we don’t just deliver events — we create experiences.

Entertainment is at the heart of every celebration at Plaisterers’ Hall, and we work closely with our trusted suppliers to plan and deliver experiences that bring events to life. From the moment guests arrive, we ensure every element of entertainment is thoughtfully coordinated. During festive dinners, live “waiting singers” move seamlessly among guests with the service team, breaking into joyous harmonies between courses — a delightful surprise that creates magical, memorable moments.
The Hall’s layout provides the flexibility of separate entertainment rooms, allowing us to shape the flow of an event exactly as required. We manage seated dinners in the grandeur of the Great Hall, then transition guests into adjoining spaces for lively after-dinner celebrations, complete with Gatsby dancers, DJs, and bars. The adjoining rooms can also be transformed into immersive experiences, such as a cocktail lounge with a live saxophonist, a champagne or photo bar, or a casino-style games room.
We regularly coordinate a wide range of performances, from roaming acts and interactive entertainers to string quartets, jazz trios, and bespoke musical experiences. Each performance is timed and tailored to suit the pace of the event, whether it’s elegant background music during dinner or high-energy entertainment as the party unfolds.
At Plaisterers’ Hall, we offer complete flexibility with music and entertainment, with no restrictions on playlists, genres, or sound levels. Our extended licence allows guests to dance the night away without limits, giving every celebration the freedom to flow naturally. By combining creative execution, careful planning, and attention to detail, we ensure the entertainment enhances the atmosphere, delights guests, and contributes to truly unforgettable events.

Plaisterers’ Hall transforms Christmas catering into a truly memorable experience. What sets us apart is our ability to combine seasonal tradition with creativity and flair, delivering festive menus that are both indulgent and unexpected. From innovative twists on classic favourites to bespoke dishes tailored to each event, every plate is crafted to impress.
Our team goes beyond simply serving food. Interactive elements such as live carving stations, festive canapé displays, and customised cocktail pairings create engaging, immersive experiences that delight guests and make each event feel unique. Every detail—from the presentation to the choice of ingredients—is considered to ensure maximum impact and enjoyment.
Flexibility and personalisation are central to our catering. We accommodate dietary requirements seamlessly, provide themed menus for corporate or private celebrations, and adapt our offerings to reflect the client’s vision and style. Our chefs thrive on creativity, transforming seasonal ingredients into stunning dishes that are as visually striking as they are delicious.
Service excellence complements our culinary innovation. Our on-site catering and operations team deliver polished, attentive service, managing every detail behind the scenes so guests can relax and enjoy the celebration. The result is a seamless, stress-free experience where food takes centre stage.
In short, Plaisterers’ Hall doesn’t just provide festive catering—we create Christmas dining experiences that surprise, delight, and leave a lasting impression.
