Private Hire & Events

Some groups just need a table.

Others want the space to feel like it’s theirs.

Canto offers a unique setting for private dining, drinks receptions, celebrations, and group bookings — bringing together fire-led dining, great drinks, and experiences guests will remember.

From early evening receptions and birthdays to corporate events and full venue hire, we’ll help create an experience tailored to you. We shape the space around your occasion, with flexible formats designed to suit how you want the event to run.

Private hire is available throughout the week, including days we are not usually open, with pricing tailored to the day and time.

Occasions We Host

Canto works particularly well for:

• Drinks receptions
• Full venue parties
• Corporate events and Christmas parties
• Birthday celebrations
• Baby showers
• Retirement and leaving parties
• Launch events and brand gatherings

Whether it’s a relaxed flow of drinks and small plates or something more structured, the space adapts easily to suit the occasion.

Food & Drink

We keep things flexible depending on the style of your event:

• Drinks receptions with cocktails, wine, and beer
• Wood-fired small plates and sharing dishes designed for standing events or informal dining
• Canto sharing feast menus for seated group occasions

How It Works

Most events are built around a minimum spend or per-person package rather than a hire fee, allowing more of your budget to go towards food and drink for your guests.

Minimum spends vary depending on the day and time, with options available for both daytime and evening events. Most events at Canto typically sit between £35–£65 per guest, depending on the style, timing, and format of the occasion.

The Space

Canto is a warm, intimate space with a natural flow between the bar and booth seating areas, best suited to groups of 30–80 guests.

We’ll work with you on layout, timing, and service style to create an experience that feels seamless, relaxed, and memorable for your guests.
