If you're planning a night out in Mayfair and thinking about booking a VIP table, the first question is usually: how much will it cost? Our bookings team arranges tables across most of Mayfair's top venues, and prices vary more than most people realise. This guide breaks down what you'll pay at each major club so you can compare before you commit.
How Mayfair VIP Table Pricing Works
Most Mayfair clubs operate on a minimum spend model rather than a flat table hire fee. You reserve a table by committing to spend a set amount on bottles and drinks during the night. The minimum spend covers your table reservation, a dedicated host, and usually a selection of mixers and soft drinks. Entry is typically included for your group once you have a table booked.
Prices shift depending on the night, the size of your group, and table location. As Time Out's London club listings note, Mayfair remains one of the most in-demand nightlife areas in the city, and VIP table prices reflect that premium positioning.
Tape London
Tape is one of the most recognised names in Mayfair nightlife. As of October 2026, table minimum spends start from £750, and Fridays, Saturdays and VIP tables cost more. Premium booths closer to the DJ can push significantly higher. Tape tends to fill early on Saturdays, so booking at least a week ahead is advisable. The venue is compact, which means even standard tables feel close to the action, and the sound system hits hard regardless of where you're seated.

Maddox Club
Maddox is a favourite for groups who want a polished atmosphere without the most extreme price tags. Minimum spends as of May 2026 start around £1,000 on Thursdays and go up to £1,500 to £2,000 on peak nights. Guests we book on Thursdays tell us the vibe is relaxed but the service slick, with bottles arriving within minutes of sitting down. The main room tables offer the best energy, while the upstairs area is quieter if your group prefers conversation over volume.

99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club)
The club on Swallow Street, just off Regent Street, that traded as Cuckoo Club reopened in October 2026 as 99 Regent Street, open Wednesday to Saturday from 11pm to 4am. Tables start from £600 minimum spend, which is spent on drinks rather than charged on top and covers entry for the whole group. The figure rises with the night, the group size and the table's position, and VIP and larger tables are quoted on request. Most tables sit upstairs in the hip hop and RnB main room; downstairs plays house, and both floors run on Friday and Saturday.

Dear Darling
Dear Darling brings a more eclectic, artistic edge to nearby St James's. As of October 2026, tables start from £800 minimum spend, and prime positions cost more depending on the night, the floor and the size of your group. The decor alone makes it stand out. The interiors feel like a cross between a gallery and a private members' lounge, with plush seating and moody lighting throughout. The host service is attentive without being overbearing, which makes a real difference when you want to enjoy the night rather than constantly waving someone down.
Reserve your table at Dear Darling.
Selene and Rumour (formerly Tabu)
These two venues round out the table scene in and around Mayfair. Selene, at 4 Winsley Street just north of Oxford Circus, opens Thursday to Sunday from 11pm to 4am, with table minimums from £800, depending on the night and the table position.
Tabu, at 1 Dover Street, was relaunched by the same owners in October 2026 as Rumour, open Wednesday to Saturday from 11pm to 4am. Booths start from £1,000 minimum spend and cover entry for the whole group, roughly £125 each across eight people. The guestlist is for ladies only, so a booth is the route in for men and mixed groups. Reserve a booth at Rumour.
What Affects the Price You'll Pay
Several factors influence your final bill beyond the base minimum spend:
- Night of the week - Fridays and Saturdays are always the most expensive. Thursdays offer better value at most venues.
- Table location - Tables near the DJ booth or dance floor command a premium over those in quieter corners.
- Group size - Larger groups may need a higher minimum spend or a bigger table. Most standard tables accommodate 5 to 8 guests.
- Special events - Bank holidays, New Year's Eve, and Halloween typically double or triple normal pricing.
- Bottle choices - Premium champagnes and rare spirits push your spend up quickly. Sticking to house options keeps costs manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I negotiate VIP table prices in Mayfair?
It depends on the night and the venue. Midweek bookings sometimes have more flexibility, especially for larger groups. On Fridays and Saturdays, prices are generally fixed. The best approach is to enquire early and mention your group size, as clubs may offer better table positions or added extras rather than lowering the minimum spend itself.
Do VIP table prices include entry for my whole group?
Yes, at most Mayfair venues, booking a table includes entry for your party. There's usually a guest limit tied to the table size, so confirm how many people your booking covers when you reserve.
Is it cheaper to book a VIP table on a Thursday?
Almost always. Thursday minimum spends are typically 20 to 40 percent lower than Friday or Saturday at the same venue. The atmosphere is often just as good, particularly at popular spots like Maddox and Dear Darling.
What happens if I don't reach the minimum spend?
You'll still be charged the minimum spend amount. It functions as a guaranteed commitment rather than a target. Make sure you're comfortable with the amount before confirming your booking.
