Private Dining Venues for Conferences

There’s more to conferences than food… but there are few parts of it that your delegates will enjoy more. Indeed, according to our own research, almost half of delegates say that socialising is one of the most memorable aspects of conferences – meaning that the restaurant and venue you choose for your social events can make a real difference to the overall success of your event.

Leeds is home to a variety of exceptional dining experiences, including some delicious private culinary adventures for your specific business needs, whether you are looking to organise an exclusive speakers dinner or a food experience for your conference board. As the foodie capital of the North, the spread of restaurants and diversity of global cuisines is very special, giving you oodles of choice when it comes to private dining options. Leeds is full of unique and diverse menus, and no matter where you go, you’ll never miss out on a wonderful dining experience when visiting the city.
