Bordello Banquets: Culinary Experiences that Ignite the Senses

Welcome to Bordello Banquets. Born from the creative spirit of Bristol's iconic Il Bordello barge, we offer bespoke catering, themed events, and hospitality to guests at Mill End Mitcheldean, usually working to a minimum of £500.00 per event or group.

Bordello Banquets traces its roots back to the legendary Il Bordello, a converted Dutch barge moored in Bristol. This vibrant arts bar was a hub for musicians, artists, and creatives, known for its innovative cocktail menu and eclectic atmosphere. Today, we carry on that spirit of creativity and hospitality, bringing a touch of Bristol's vibrant energy to every event we cater.

However, please note that as we are a small team, we do not offer refunds. Once a deposit has been paid against an invoice you are legally bound to the full invoice.
