A More Relaxed Alternative to a Traditional Function Space
Not every business gathering needs the formality of a hotel suite or conference room. Ebony Table offers a restaurant-led setting where colleagues, clients and local partners can connect over West African food, drinks and conversation in a more relaxed environment.
This makes it particularly suitable for team socials, client meals, informal business lunches and company celebrations where atmosphere and hospitality matter as much as the occasion itself. If you are looking for something less conventional, explore our restaurant setting.
Food for Your Event
Food is at the centre of the Ebony Table experience. Our menu draws on Nigerian and wider West African influences, giving colleagues, clients and guests the opportunity to enjoy distinctive African flavours as part of their gathering.
Depending on availability and the arrangements agreed with our team, your menu can include a selection of our most popular dishes, such as Jollof rice, Ebony Special rice, fried plantain, Suya, pepper soup, pounded yam, Tilapia fish, and a variety of meat dishes.
If you are hiring the restaurant exclusively, we can also offer greater flexibility and create a bespoke menu to suit your preferences and the style of your event. This could include alternative cuisines, such as a traditional English-style buffet, or a combination of dishes tailored to your guests and requirements. Please speak to our team about the options available when planning your event.
Our chefs have experience preparing African cuisine in Nigeria and London and are trained in food hygiene. Recipes are influenced by traditions passed down through generations, while our Head Chef’s wider culinary experience allows us to discuss suitable menu options for different occasions.
If anyone attending has allergies, intolerances or other dietary needs, please let us know when enquiring so these can be discussed before your booking.
