AMANO Covent Garden

Minimum spend ranges from £9,000 to £18,000 plus 12.5% service charge depending on date, guest count, and event type. This minimum spend goes towards food and beverages only - there is no separate venue hire fee. All prices include 20% VAT.

The restaurant accommodates up to 130 guests for seated dining or up to 180 guests for standing receptions. For groups of 25+ guests, set menu options are required starting at £70 per person.

Events typically run from 5pm to 12am with last bar orders between 11:15-11:30pm. The space must be cleared by 12am due to licensing restrictions. For lunch events outside normal operating hours (earliest 1pm), minimum spend starts at £6,000 plus 15% service charge.

Penelope's serves Middle Eastern-Spanish fusion cuisine using a sharing concept where dishes are served family-style on multiple shareable plates rather than individual portions. Set menus are required for groups and can be modified to accommodate dietary requirements with advance notice.

For groups of 25+, a 25% deposit is required based on guest count and chosen set menu (e.g., 25% of 30 x £70 set menus). The deposit is deducted from your final bill on the event day. Dates are only held upon request and quotes are valid for 5 working days.

A mandatory 12.5% service charge applies to all food and beverage consumption. Entertainment and decoration are charged separately based on artist fees. If booking through Hirespace, a 10% commission applies to the final net amount plus VAT (excluding service charge, entertainment, and external hire costs).

Every Saturday, Penelope's hosts 'Isramani: Eat, Drink and Dance' with DJ music starting at 8pm and live entertainment later in the evening. All restaurant guests can join the dance floor, and complimentary shots are offered as part of the experience.

Site visits are available Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm and Saturdays 3pm-7pm. For last-minute enquiries, food and beverage pre-orders may have tight deadlines (e.g., by 5pm the day before). Summer season dates (May-September) have high demand and availability changes constantly unless a tour is booked.

Loose furniture can be removed to create space for activities like dancing. The restaurant can arrange seating in 2-3 large tables within sectioned areas depending on availability. Setup access can be granted earlier than guest arrival times.

All quotes are valid for 5 working days only and subject to availability. Prices may change based on date modifications, guest count increases, or timing changes. Full payment of minimum spend is required upfront as deposit, which creates a tab that's deducted from your final bill.
