Our local chamber of commerce arrange "High Teas" at different companies, allowing them to show other people around their premises and give a short presentation about themselves, whilst at the same time allowing others to network and get free wine and nibbles :D

I am in the process of setting up a networking event and we are holding it in the private bar of a pub.

I agree the pub is the way to go, people relax and get talking more after a couple drinks and before you know it you could be building some pretty valuable relationships there just because of a couple of beers.

Everyone would be to official and on best behaviour in a hotel or at home meetings.

The networking events I run start in a private room, usually a central London location, and then moves on to the pub.
