Perfect relaxed central London venue
We saw a lot of venues in London before we came across Urban and wish we'd found them sooner. They made everything so easy. Clare the events organiser and Dylan the Manager at Harrild and Son's were both fantastic. The venue itself was perfect, just what we were looking for; somewhere in central London that had plenty of character and wouldn't break the bank. We didn't have a sit down meal, we opted for canapés and bowl food which everyone raved about. We also loved Dylan's suggestion of a cocktail hour in the downstairs bar which went down very well with the guests! I couldn't have asked for a better venue, or better people to deal with in the run to the wedding. The staff on the night were also excellent.

amazing food/drink/location/late licence
The food, the drink, the decor, the staff, everything was amazing. Some highlights: • Late licence (3am). Every other venue in London finishes far too early because of neighbours but H&S is in the city and doesn’t have any. • Central London on a Saturday. Because there is no one about in the city on the weekend you can have exclusive use of the venue. o Note – we had our ceremony 5 mins walk at the museum of the order of St John. • Drink - We had a French sparkling to rival any champagne, and everyone had their favourite craft beer and cocktail. We were also able to bring some of our own red wine and pay corkage which was appreciated. • Food – This is where H&S really pulled it off by feeding 106 people a three-course meal (and people had options) of exceptional quality. • The decor – H&S has had a refurb and it looks amazing. Especially as it became evening and the low lighting came on. Moving to the cocktail lounge downstairs while the dining tables were moved was a nice touch too. • We skipped a DJ and used a Spotify playlist and a disco light which worked well. Ultimately we feel that Harrild and Sons worked very hard for our money and we had an amazing day.

Happy Father
My intention has been there but has failed to put finger to key pad, for which I sincerely apologise and do hope that my sincerity is evident when I thank you very, very much for making Celine & Jon’s wedding reception such a fantastically successful and much loved event. I recognise that the attendees naturally played a major part in the wonderful feeling pervading the day but it couldn’t have been sustained for as long and as late as it was without your superb organisation. The set up, the food and your management was brilliant, better than I expected. Thank you. On a much smaller but I think, significant aspect, thank you for saving for us the last of the wine that I brought….we have shared it again and particularly happily with my 91yr old mother in Hampshire, who was unable to attend the wedding. We actually dressed up to do a mini replay in her house…..and crucially, she approved of the wine. Thank you very much once again, Julian Jones.

Please read, and be warned!!
*Please note that after months of back and forth with the venue, we received some compensation for the issues that we experienced* Our wedding took place in August 2022, and after some careful thought, we think it is right that we leave a review of our big day at Harrild & Sons so that no other couples go through the same disappointment and frustration that we experienced. We selected H&S due to their brilliant online reviews, so when it was announced that the venue changed hands at the start of 2022, we had immediate concerns that we would not receive the amazing pub wedding we envisaged. It turned out that we were correct to have these concerns, and unfortunately for us they really showed through on our big day. Although our initial agreement with the venue was honoured, due to staff changes and miss communication, we did not receive the same top tier management that other reviewers of this venue have reported. We were assigned a wedding manager which made us feel at ease, but it seemed that all our conversations reading up to the day were pointless. The catalogue of errors during our day are plentiful, with the most major listed as follows - - No experienced wedding manager present on the day. I hadn’t met the person that was assigned on the day before and they had clearly not managed many/any weddings previously. - Our welcome drinks were not served to guests, instead, a bottle of gin, bucket of ice and some tonic bottles were placed at the back of the room. Guests bought their own drinks instead. - Staff did not know about our £2k bar tab and charged drinks to guests until we realised what was happening. They also did not put out the sign we had made to alert guests on which drinks were on the tab. - Our wedding cake was not served to guests and we took it all home with us. Complete waste of money. - During our initial meeting we were told that fairy lights were wrapped around the pillars for all weddings, but these were not done. We found out after the fact that it was for us to sort ourselves but this was never communicated. - Selected wine from our tasting was not available on the day, I had to taste and select wines when I arrived at my wedding. - Food was completely different in quality than we tried at the tasting. The beef (that nearly everyone had) was tough and had not been cooked for long enough. It was hugely embarrassing as we had raved to guests about how good the beef dish was. - When we requested to see the itemised receipt against our tab, we found that many drinks had been costed wrong, it was completely inaccurate towards the charges/services agreed. - Security agreed for the night did not turn up and random punters came in several times during the night. - Doombar was ordered in specifically for the father of the groom, but it was not available even after double checking it would be two days prior to the wedding. - Camden Hells was off after 2.5hrs of us being at the venue. - Wrong table plan was used. I hope no one experiences this level of extensive issues during their wedding. We were expecting a couple of things to go wrong, but never anything to this scale. It honestly felt like staff hadn’t handled a wedding before. Thankfully during the day we were in such a giddy, overwhelmingly happy state of mind, we forced all of these issues away from affecting our experience at the time. However, upon reflection, we feel hurt and hugely disappointed, especially that we had to fight so hard to receive any goodwill and decent customer service from the venue. After two months of back and forth with management we received some compensation which has helped ease a bit of bad feeling, but I hope making others aware of our experience will give some further closure. Thank you for reading, and if you’re looking to book with H&S, please be careful and try to ensure that none of these errors happen to you.

Claire and the whole team at Harrild and Sons were amazing. We couldn’t of asked for a better day. The venue looked stunning and the team went out of their way to put up our many decorations and table settings. Everyone was raving about the food too, saying it was the best they have ever had at a wedding. You won’t regret booking! We loved our day there.

Above & Beyond
Despite the business changing hands before our wedding, the communication was excellent and the new events coordinator did everything to make the day go smoothly and pick up details from original booking. Excellent staff on the day, we love the venue so much it needed hardly any decorating which made it all stress free. Food was great, both sit down meal and evening snacks! Cocktails downstairs after dinner were loved by guests! Highly recommend!!
