Private Dining & Events at Plaquemine Lock

“New Orleans food is as delicious
as the less criminal forms of sin”

Mark Twain

There’s an edge to the best parties. Well planned, but where the good times roll.

Private dining at Plaquemine Lock usually starts with a cocktail, then builds with communal oyster shucking, and finishes with Mardi Gras beads flying.

You bring the people. We’ll handle everything else.

If you have any questions about private dining, please either email us on manager@plaqlock.com, or call us on 020 7688 1488.
