Balfour At St Barts

Visited today on our wedding anniversary as the building used to be a bank that my wife and I worked I together before we married. Lovely setting, food and drink excellent. Probably the best pie I've ever had. Guided tour of the old bank vault was a lovely touch and a great trip down memory lane. Definitely will visit again.

If you’re looking for a truly unique and wonderful London wedding venue, you have come to the right place! Everything at Balfour is perfect. We had 100 guests and they all commented on how amazing the venue was! The food is NEXT LEVEL GOOD!! We’ve weren’t expecting so many compliments on our wedding food, but the chefs completely smashed it out the park - people were still talking about it for days after the wedding!! Everything from start to finish was so smooth, communication throughout was fantastic and the service on the day was second to none. I cannot recommend this place enough, you will be completely looked after. Special shout-out has to go to Matilda who was the BEST. She kept us on track throughout the planning process, her communication was brilliant and she was there on the day for whatever we needed. Thank you Matilda, and everyone at Balfour for making our wedding day truly unforgettable! 😊

Visited for their relatively new open mic night. The bar is beautiful and has a pleasant atmosphere. The bar staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. There is an upstairs balcony area overlooking the platform and bar below. Also upstairs they have a private bar area which can be booked and would make a great party or company event. The food is amazing and surprising for a bar. The area is quite quiet and sits opposite the Elizabeth line station so it is easy to get to. Overall a great experience and made for one of the best nights out I've had in London Will be returning!

A super great London pub wedding venue - spacious inside and loads of fairy lights mean this is a great spot if you're getting married at one of the London Town Halls. There's fab space downstairs for dining, the snug bar is super cosy and the toilets are nice (quite important, a lot of London pubs that do weddings have pretty dire loos!) and, most importantly, it has a great space for dancing. There's also some cool spots nearby for couple photos - all the industrial stuff near Smithfield Market works really well.

This bar/restaurant is beautiful on the inside, draped in fairy lights and new, comfortable furniture throughout. They have an extensive wines list (on the more expensive side) which is great if you want to try something new, alongside a gin menu. I attended an open mic on a Monday night and got to see so many talented performers so it was a lot of fun! ✨

We held our wedding reception at Balfour St Barts in late November 2022 and cannot recommend it highly enough. Matilda the events coordinator was responsive, positive and offered great suggestions throughout. On the day she worked with our florist (Ribbon and Rose) to make the venue look amazing, she was then a calm presence throughout the day/night. The chefs and kitchen team did an unbelievable job. We had 90 people for the meal at our reception, and our friends/family are generally quite "foodie". We also had a fair amount of dietary requirements be it vegetarian, vegan, lactose intolerant - everyone was well fed. Whether people had duck/scallops, beef/sea bass or one of the vegetarian/vegan options, if there is one thing our guests have consistently said about our day, its that the food was amazing. Several people have said to us its the best food they have ever had at a wedding - its definitely the best food I've ever eaten at a wedding. The bar staff - you all contributed so much to our day, having fun with us and our guests. Everyone had a smile on their face and, despite not knowing us aside from the few times we had popped in before our wedding day, seemed genuinely really happy for us which we were so touched by. It felt like you were all a part of the party and that definitely contributed to us all having such a great time. To all the team at Balfour St Barts, thank you so much. If you are reading this as you are considering having your reception here, you will not regret it if you do.

Absolutely incredibly venue. We attended a wedding here at the weekend, and the service, food, atmosphere, environment was superb. The industrial vibe with the fairy lights, large windows and seating arrangements made the venue perfect. There was Nothing to fault. The food was top class and all 90plus guests ate steak at the same time. It was perfectly cooked, and tasted divine. The service at the bar was brilliant, any drink could be made and the standard of cocktails and prosecco was excellent. The bride and groom made a great choice picking The Balfour for their special day because the team on 22/10 did an amazing job to make it special for everyone!! Definitely returning to try out more of the menu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
