Birthday Party Venues in Stanmore

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Pubs that have been pouring since 1899 know a thing or two about birthdays, and The Salisbury Hotel has been doing exactly that on Percival Road in Stanmore since then. It is a split-level pub with a bistro, a weekend café, live sport, free live music and a refreshed beer garden, about five minutes on foot from Stanmore Station.

Four ways to set up a birthday at The Salisbury:

The Courtyard: up to 90, mixing high tables with low ones, and its own bar close by.
The Cobblestones: 40 at high alfresco tables under a retractable awning.
The Hall and Loft: a semi-private split-level room for 50, where a large TV plays the photo slideshow.
The Booths: eight booths beside the bar, seating up to 40.
Step-free entry: guests can reach the Courtyard from Percival Lane.

The function menu is designed for sharing, so a 30th or 40th here tends to run on platters and a bar tab rather than a sit-down meal.

A grazing table of charcuterie, cheeses, antipasti and fruit.
Hot and cold canapé platters such as coconut prawns, salt and pepper squid, party pies, rice paper rolls and sushi.
Skewers and sliders ordered by the 20 or 30.
16-slice pizzas for the late-night crowd.

Timing a Salisbury birthday

Friday to Sunday bookings carry a minimum spend on food and drinks.
That minimum can be made up of a package or grazing table plus a bar tab.
Outdoor speeches should happen before the Courtyard's 10pm curfew.
Indoors, the Hall and Loft has high ceilings and grand glass doors for the cake and candles.
