Alfi isn’t your typical event venue — and that’s exactly why people love it. Just a short walk from Liverpool Street, we’re a modern Italian restaurant and wine bar with heart. From boardroom escapes to birthday blowouts, we’re all about good food, great wine, and creating a space where everyone feels genuinely looked after. We’ve hosted everything from product launches and networking drinks to milestone celebrations, team dinners, and full-venue takeovers with DJs and dancing. Our spaces are flexible and full of character: private rooms for intimate gatherings, semi-private areas for a lively buzz, and outdoor terraces for when you want a change of scenery (yes, they’re covered and heated). At the heart of Alfi is a team who just loves making people happy. We’re not about fuss, we’re about getting things right. That means thoughtful, modern Italian food (the classics are here too, pizza, pasta, grilled mains, small plates), a wine list we’re proud of, and menus that can be tailored to suit everyone’s needs. Whether you want a relaxed, grazing-style evening or something more structured with set menus, bespoke cocktails, and décor to match your theme, we’ve got you. We’ll take care of the planning without making it feel like a checklist, so you can focus on actually enjoying the day. This is the kind of place where guests leave saying, “It felt like our kind of night, not someone else’s idea of one.” And honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Indoor Venue Hire combines three connected spaces: the Main Dining Room, The Nook and the Private Dining Room. The Main Dining Room is lively and social, flooded with natural light from wide windows, with an industrial-revival look of exposed ceilings and ducting, warm timber floors, curved upholstered banquettes and slender stools. The Nook offers a more intimate, semi-private setting with its own character. Together these spaces create a flexible environment for corporate dinners, networking events, presentations, workshops and mid-sized celebrations. The open kitchen creates energy and theatre, while the Private Dining Room provides flexibility for structured moments or more intimate gatherings. The layout allows natural flow between dining and event space, with a clear central area that can function as a dancefloor or standing space. A built-in PA system supports in-room sound and guest music or a DJ.

Alfi's full venue hire opens up the entire space for private use, letting you shape it to suit what you have in mind. The layout is genuinely flexible: you can split the venue into different zones, with a party area for music and dancing, a quieter spot for food and conversation, and a games section so there is something for everyone. Or open it all up as one. Between the Games Terrace, the Private Dining Rooms, and the main bar and restaurant, you can mix and match how the night flows. The team has hosted sit-down dinners, all-day conferences, Christmas parties with dance floors, casino nights, and full-on themed celebrations. Add in cloakroom facilities, AV, a DJ, or live entertainment, and the layout is completely yours. The ethos is straightforward: as long as it can be done, the answer is yes.
