Ironmongers Hall, venue, City of London, Conferences, Audio-Visual,Weddings, Wedding Reception

Here at Inn or Out, we have simple aims and the highest possible standards. Whether you are entertaining clients, about to celebrate the biggest day of your lives or hosting friends at home, our goal is the same; to make your event stand out and your guests never forget your wonderful hospitality. We are not the stars of the show, you are.

How do we do it? Front of house, we bring innovation, passion and experience, plus a fastidious attention to detail and an unbeatable level of service. In the kitchen, our team of chefs are confident that the food we serve is comparable to the best London restaurants, even when we are catering for 2000 people from a marquee kitchen. But, above all, we bring a personal touch. It is this, I believe, that makes us stand out from the crowd.
