Hire The Sussex Cellar, Berry Bros. & Rudd (SW1A 1EG)

Alternatively, please email us
or call us on 0207 870 9305.

Escaping the hustle and bustle of St James’s Street, step into the quiet of Pickering Place and through a secret door in one of our historic townhouses, and down into our newest underground wine events venue, the Sussex Cellar. Elegantly spaced over two levels the Sussex Cellar combines modern architectural innovation with the feel of our historic cellars.

The space is named after the Duke of Sussex, one of seven Royal Dukes (sons of George III, brothers of George IV) who were regular customers of Berry Bros. & Rudd in the early 19th century. Known as “Queen Victoria’s Wicked Uncles”, their portraits have hung in the shop for generations. Of the seven Dukes, Augustus Frederick, the Duke of Sussex, was the closest to the Berry family, known to them as “Uncle Sus”.

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.

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.
