Hire The Napoleon Cellar, Berry Bros. & Rudd (SW1A 1EG)
The cellars beneath our wine shop date from the early 18th century. Louis Napoleon, later to become Emperor Napoleon III, held clandestine meetings here during his exile in the 1840s, plotting his return to France.
The largest of our three cellars, our 19th-century Napoleon Cellar is perfect for stand-up receptions and tastings, as well as sit-down lunches and dinners. It combines the old with the new, with state-of-the-art audio-visual facilities discreetly presented next to historic original features.
As Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant, with more Masters of Wine than any other company, we will help you pick bottles that surprise and delight. We have more than 4,000 wines and spirits to choose from, and our experts will work with you to select the right ones for your event. There is no restaurant mark-up – you only pay the retail price, plus service at £10 per bottle.
Our Catering team is led by Stewart Turner, previously of The Connaught Hotel, The Wolseley, and the three Michelin-starred Waterside Inn. We create seasonal menus to the same high standard as our wine, using the finest, freshest ingredients. You can choose one of our specially prepared set menus, or pick dishes from across our range.
