Private hire

Your evening, our café

When the daytime service winds down, our café floor becomes one of Finsbury Park’s most characterful small venues — available for private hire with food and drinks packages built around your group.

The space

A warm, ready-made room two minutes from the station

Wooden tables, soft lighting, a working espresso bar and twenty years of neighbourhood atmosphere — the room needs no dressing up, though you’re welcome to add your own touches. It suits gatherings where conversation matters more than a dance floor.

Because SBR Enterprises is an unlicensed premises, no alcohol is served or sold at private events — something many of our guests specifically seek out for faith celebrations, family occasions and community groups. What we pour instead is rather good: espresso martinis without the martini this is not, but our house coolers, fresh juices and specialty coffee service keep glasses full all evening.

  • Seated capacity for up to 30 guests; up to 40 standing
  • Evening hire from 6:30pm, seven days a week
  • Step-free access from Finsbury Park Road
  • Two minutes’ walk from Finsbury Park station (Victoria & Piccadilly lines, National Rail)

What it suits

Made for gatherings like these

Baby showers & naming days

A daytime or evening favourite — afternoon-tea-style spreads, mocktail-style coolers and a room that welcomes buggies and grandparents alike.

Book clubs & societies

Monthly meetings over coffee, cake and conversation. Recurring bookings get priority dates and a standing arrangement with the kitchen.

Community suppers

Faith groups, PTAs, mutual-aid kitchens and neighbourhood associations — an alcohol-free room where everyone at the table belongs.

Small birthday dinners

A long-table feast from our kitchen for the milestones that deserve better than a noisy bar — from 18ths to 80ths.

Launch & team evenings

Small product launches, team socials and wrap parties for the studios and start-ups around Finsbury Park and Stroud Green.

Wakes & memorial teas

A gentle, private room with tea, coffee and generous platters — handled with the care these occasions ask for.
