Church House Westminster brochureChurch House Westminster is a Grade II listed building in Dean's Yard that's hosted the UN Security Council's first meeting, wartime sittings of Parliament, and receptions for the Coronation of King Charles III. Architect Sir Herbert Baker's 30-foot glass dome anchors nineteen flexible spaces, from boardrooms for six to a 600-seat hall. In-house AV production, hybrid streaming, Searcys catering and an events team with decades of experience turn that history into modern corporate events, all run to a net zero standard.

Can I use external caterers or bring my own food and drink?
The venue works with Searcys as their catering partner and has minimum spend requirements. External catering arrangements are not mentioned in standard proposals, suggesting the venue operates with their preferred catering partner. All catering appears to go through the venue's systems with set minimum spends per person.
