De Hems Dutch Bar And Kitchen, The Gallery

We are a Dutch café bar at heart and can offer a great private space above the main bar for your celebration or function; our large windows make this a bright and light space, perfect for your breakfast or daytime meeting. Each year we proudly celebrate the famous Dutch national holiday ‘King’s Day’, so be sure to book a table to join in the celebrations.

With a pedigree dating to the 17th century, De Hems takes its name from a Dutch seaman who bought the pub in 1890. Thus our history is strongly linked to the Dutch community and the Dutch Resistance who met here during the Second World War. We were a music business haunt in the 1960s and it was said that a place in the charts could be bought in our old Oyster Bar.

Special occasions, retirement parties, corporate meetings, a Board meeting, a presentation - this room is suitable for all events and offers an area suitable for 80 guests.

A separate roadside entrance, a private bar and the very best hospitality make this a venue not to be missed.

For a more intimate lunch or dinner, in beautiful surroundings on the edge of Chinatown......De Hems has something that other venues don't. Unique charm, limitless hospitality and a space flooded with natural daylight makes this a destination for all private dining occasions.
