Private Venue Hire

Why Choose Chez Burton – The Waiting Room

If you’re searching for venue hire in Letchworth that combines atmosphere, flexibility and a genuinely welcoming feel, Chez Burton: The Waiting Room offers a space designed for memorable celebrations.

Whether you’re planning a birthday party, anniversary, engagement drinks or an informal gathering with friends and colleagues, our venue is ideal for events that are relaxed, social and full of character.

A Space Designed for Celebrating

The Waiting Room is not a traditional function room. It’s a stylish bar and social space that works beautifully for standing events, where guests can move around, mingle and enjoy the atmosphere.

Our layout allows for:

  • Social, informal gatherings rather than rigid seating
  • Tall tables for drinks and grazing
  • Seating is dotted around for guests who want to relax
  • A layout that can be adapted to suit your event

It’s a space that feels full and lively without being overwhelming, making it perfect for medium-sized celebrations.

Flexible Private Hire Options

One of the biggest advantages of booking Chez Burton is flexibility. We understand that no two events are the same, so we work with you to create an experience that suits your plans.

You can choose to:

  • Hire the venue exclusively for a private event
  • Reserve an area while we remain open to the public

Our team will guide you through what works best for your guest numbers, timings and the kind of atmosphere you want to create.

Food That Fits the Occasion

Food at Chez Burton is designed to complement social events rather than interrupt them.

Popular options include:

  • Tapas-style food, perfect for standing parties
  • Beautifully presented grazing tables that encourage guests to mingle and share
  • Bespoke menu options created to suit your guest list and preferences

This relaxed, sociable approach keeps the energy flowing, with food that brings people together rather than tying them to a table.

Music & Atmosphere

Music plays a huge role in setting the mood, and our venue is well set up for it.

  • Playlists can be played through our sound system
  • Space available for DJs or live performers
  • Sound inside and out to keep the vibe flowing

Whether you want background music for relaxed drinks or something more upbeat to turn the evening into a party, the space adapts easily.

A Luxury Bar Experience

Chez Burton is first and foremost a bar, which makes it a natural choice for celebrations.

Guests can enjoy:

  • A wide range of drinks
  • Bottled lagers, wines and bespoke cocktails
  • Spirits and mixers
  • Friendly, experienced bar staff

Your guests can order easily at the bar, keeping the event flowing without fuss.

Right Next to Letchworth Rail Station

Location matters when planning an event, and it doesn’t get much more convenient than this. The Waiting Room is located right next to Letchworth Garden City rail station, making it incredibly easy for guests to arrive and head home.

  • Perfect for guests travelling from London, Cambridge and beyond
  • No long walks, taxis or complicated directions
  • Ideal for evening events where easy transport is key

It’s a huge plus for your guests — and one less thing for you to worry about.
