Wednesday, October 31st, 2018

If you’ve got an event coming up, then you may well be planning to book a table somewhere for yourself and your guests, but here at Bella Cosa you can go one better and opt for our private dining offering.

We have an exclusive and intimate dining area just for those more private occasions, whether that’s a corporate meeting or an intimate function. We can seat up to 14 guests in our private wine room, which is the perfect setting for a party or a business meeting; whether that’s to discuss new business or something like investing in a brand new restaurant POS system.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, engagement, new job, or any other occasion, booking a private table is the perfect way to celebrate with your loved ones.

Why not gather your nearest and dearest together in our chic stylish private dining area and enjoy wining and dining together! Here are five great reasons to choose private dining here at Bella Cosa!

You don’t need to set up

Typically when you throw a party you have to spend time preparing food and drinks, decorating the place, sorting out a sound system and all sorts of other bits and pieces.

But with private dining, our team are on hand to take care of you, and with our beautiful views and stylish surroundings, you won’t need to worry about what your guests will think of their surroundings.

You can relax

One of the great advantages of booking our private dining option is that you can totally relax and enjoy your time with us, safe in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of for you.

Throwing a party at home always means that you can never fully relax as you are constantly distracted by your hosting duties. Instead of worrying about how the event is going, even the organisers can sit back and enjoy themselves here at Bella Cosa and just focus on the food, drinks and company.

There’s no tidying up

Another perk of having your party or event with us here at Bella Cosa is that you won’t need to spend hours cleaning up once the party’s over. We’re more than happy to take care of the clearing up so you can enjoy your evening to the fullest.

Instead of dealing with cleaning, you’re free to head home to relax after all the fun is over, or even spend more time with your guests!

You won’t be disturbed

Holding a private party just feels that little bit more intimate and special than being surrounded by other tables of people, and if you’ve ever held an important business lunch in a busy restaurant with other things going on around you you’ll know that it just isn’t quite as productive as having your own space.

Plus, if you’re throwing a party you don’t need to worry about disturbing other people in the restaurant who are just out for a quiet bite to eat! Everybody is a winner when you choose private dining.

Our private dining menu

If you book a private dining event with us, you will be able to enjoy our exclusive private dining menu which offers great value and perfectly tailored dishes that you and your guests are sure to enjoy.

Our private dining menu is available for groups of eight or more people, and must be pre-ordered 3 working days before your event takes place. Be sure to let us know of any dietary requirements so that we can do our best to ensure everybody is accommodated.

You can enjoy three courses for ÂŁ40 or four for ÂŁ45 and can find the current menu here.

 

We hope this has inspired you if you are looking to host a party or event soon, as we would love to have you and your guests here at Bella Cosa. Be sure to check out our private dining page here where you can get in touch if you would like to make an enquiry.

A night out in London is like no other and with so many different boroughs and neighbourhoods, you can design the perfect night out for your tastes. Canary Wharf may be a hub of business during the weekdays, but come the evening, it turns into a lively location with plenty of bars to head to after work or after enjoying a sumptuous meal at Bella Cosa. Here are just a few of our favourite nightlife spots.

Wahaca Canary Wharf and Terrace Bar

For something a little more relaxed, try out the Mexican-themed Wahaca Canary Wharf and Terrace Bar.

There’s plenty of fun to be had at the Terrace Bar with table football, swing chairs, and even a living plant wall. This is the perfect place to wind down and get into the Friday feeling. Prices here are very reasonable with cocktails costing around ÂŁ7-8 – you can even order a bucket of beer to share with friends.

 

The Parlour

Located on Canada Square in the Park Pavilion, The Parlour holds a quiet class which encourages a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a few drinks in.

You can see the elements that have been inspired by a secret garden theme, with it being reflected in the drinks menu which features old classics as well as some exciting twists. You can expect to pay roughly ÂŁ7-10 for a cocktail at The Parlour, or go for a sharer to enjoy with your friends.

 

Big Easy

With an American-inspired menu and interior, Big Easy is an exciting venue with a tempting drinks menu. There is a Rum Lounge where you can listen to live music or head to the terrace to get some great views of Canary Wharf.

The drinks menu features plenty of unusual cocktails from slushies to booze-soaked shakes. Expect to pay roughly ÂŁ8-15 for the cocktails at this venue, or upgrade a slushie to a sharing bowl for ÂŁ49.

 

28 West Bar

Sat right on the waterfront, 28 West Bar is a stylish bar with a relaxed atmosphere. During the summer months, the terrace offers a great place to sit and relax as you watch London move around you.

With a focus on young professionals, you can expect plenty of cocktails to choose from which cost around ÂŁ9-10, but you can take advantage of their 2 for 1 Happy Hour offer between 5pm-7pm.

 

There are plenty of venues to take your pick from when you finish your meal at Bella Cosa and head out into Canary Wharf for an evening out. If you’re struggling to choose, just ask a member of our team who will be happy to point you in the right direction.
