Testimonial from Jessies garden B'day party May 2021

Absolutely BRILLIANT!

I had my birthday party at Le QuecumBar and it was absolutely BRILLIANT! We were seated outside in the garden which is stunning - it's Londons hidden gem!! The atmosphere was stunning, and the service was brilliant. Sylvia and her team were extremely accommodating and friendly. Looking forward to returning again and enjoying their live music :)

My London – Evening Standard – Cressida Bonas says, "What’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?"

"I love being taken to jazz bars and particularly a wonderful club in Battersea, called Le QuecumBar. I always have the perfect evening there — it’s intimate with live Gypsy swing music. "

Wedding reception review

We chose Le QuecumBar for our wedding reception and everything went beyond our expectations.

If you are looking for a venue with a real soul and a great atmosphere, this is the place... On arrival Sylvia, and the team welcomed us all with a 'state of art' Bellini, then we had the buffet which was very good quality, generous in quantity and so much variety (a brilliant combination of European, North African and Asian dishes).

... the atmosphere was magic. ....our guests enjoyed the beautiful rear garden .. with the beautiful plants and the lights ...

All our friends were so happy they discovered such a hidden gem in London.

Thank you ...for having made this day truly special and unforgettable!**
