Crispin at Studio Voltaire: A Top Destination for Group Dinners in London

Clapham—though often praised for its vibrant food scene—rarely offers dining spaces that truly cater to group dinners with flair. Enter Crispin at Studio Voltaire, a standout venue offering versatility, artistry, and delectable modern European cuisine, making it one of London’s premier destinations for group dining.

An Inspiring Space for Special Occasions

What makes Crispin truly exceptional is its location within Studio Voltaire, a renowned non-profit contemporary art gallery set in a beautifully restored Victorian chapel in Clapham. This artistic setting offers a creative and culturally rich backdrop that enhances any gathering—from milestone celebrations and corporate events to casual gatherings. The space exudes warmth and elegance, merging polished industrial elements with plush furnishings and bespoke lighting.

Moreover, Crispin extends beyond the gallery walls with an outdoor terrace and garden that accommodates up to 50 guests—ideal for summer suppers or drinks receptions.

Flexible Dining for Groups of All Sizes

Whether your group comprises 8 friends or 200 colleagues, Crispin has you covered:

• A 50-cover main dining room plus counter bar seating for more intimate gatherings.
• A garden terrace that seats up to 50 guests.
• Capacity for 200 seated or 400 standing guests throughout the venue.

Groups of up to eight can book directly via OpenTable. At the same time, larger parties and events can be arranged through the dedicated private hire team—specialising in tailored group menus, bespoke catering, and seamless logistics.

A Seasonal Menu Designed for Sharing

The culinary team, led by Head Chef Michael Miles, champions modern European cuisine with British roots, spotlighting seasonal produce from independent growers.

Expect modern takes on European and British classics, fresh pastas, charcoal-grilled meat and fish, seasonal vegetables, and comforting desserts. Throughout the day, we also serve coffee, tea, cakes and biscuits to Studio Voltaire visitors on a walk-in basis or to takeaway.

Drinks to Complement Every Dish

Alongside an array of sustainable tap wines each season’s wine list will bring a focus to 5 different winemakers, celebrating their individual stories. The wine programme will also include wine tastings and winemaker dinners. We also have a concise, classic yet creative cocktail list which is inline with our ethos of sustainability.
