Reviews
"I visited for a work function. The interiors were quite lovely for small and big events. The bar staff were great and it was a cosy yet luxurious atmosphere. The food was alright but we only had canapes so I can speak on the full meals. It was a good time and I would visit again with friends/family."
"We were in the audience for Insiders on 2 July. Great fun to watch the creation of the show. For those hard of hearing, it was a bridge too far in the room, but a catch viewing on TV means nothing was missed. The NPC auditorium is a quite intimate space. The breakfast was very nice."
"The quality of the food at this location was really poor. Helpful staff - but venue relies on its captive market! Poor parking options too…"
"Good food & handy location. A small but interesting set of beers. Friendly staff."
"Had my first visit to the National Press Club and really enjoyed it. Super friendly staff. Chilled atmosphere. Excellent food and all reasonably priced. It has a lovely history with great photos of past prime ministers and events lining the walls… glad we have membership…"
