The anti-marquee wedding venue

No hire halls, no caterers in a car park. A warm room, a real kitchen with an open fire and food your guests will genuinely remember. That is the whole pitch.

Feasting, the Portuguese way

Wedding breakfasts and reception dinners built on sharing: platters down the long table, wine flowing, nobody stuck with a rubbery plated chicken breast.

Styled your way

Bring your florist, your styling and your cake. The Fiesta Room and the long tables take beautifully to dressing, and we will set it all up with you.

Good to know

Your questions, answered

How many wedding guests can Diego's host?

40 seated or 80 standing in the private Fiesta Room, and 70 seated or 100 standing in the main restaurant. We are honest about this: we do intimate brilliantly, we do not do 200.

Can we have a room to ourselves for a wedding?

Yes. You can have the upstairs room or the main restaurant to yourselves, with your own sound system and the team looking after you for the day or evening.

Can we decorate and bring our own cake?

Yes to both. Florists and stylists are welcome ahead of your party, and your cake takes pride of place, cut and served by us with no cake fee.

Do you host wedding breakfasts after registry office ceremonies?

All the time. We are ten minutes from Southampton's registry office, and a long-table feast is the perfect next stop.
