About Whole Restaurant
A Full-Restaurant Venue in the Heart of Dempsey Hill
Whole Restaurant at Jones the Grocer in Dempsey Hill offers event planners the rare opportunity to take over an entire restaurant for their occasion. Set within the lush, low-rise enclave of Dempsey Hill — a former British military barracks turned lifestyle destination in Singapore — the space blends the relaxed character of a premium gourmet grocer with a refined dining atmosphere. The combination of Jones the Grocer's signature aesthetic, warm lighting, and thoughtfully curated interiors creates an environment that feels both welcoming and polished, making it a standout choice for groups who want more than a generic function room.
Because the booking is for the whole restaurant, guests benefit from a sense of exclusivity and privacy that individual private dining rooms rarely provide. The setting reflects Jones the Grocer's reputation for quality produce and artisan goods, lending a distinctive culinary identity to every event held here. Whether guests are seated for a formal dinner or gathering for a standing cocktail reception, the space carries a consistent warmth that sets the tone from the moment anyone walks through the door.
Events & Occasions
The Whole Restaurant is suited to a broad range of private and corporate events. Corporate teams frequently use the space for team lunches, product launches, client appreciation dinners, and brand activations, with the grocer's aesthetic providing a natural, photogenic backdrop that stands apart from a conventional hotel ballroom. Social celebrations — birthday dinners, reunion gatherings, bridal brunches, and anniversary parties — also find a natural home here, where the food and beverage offering is built into the venue's identity rather than an afterthought.
The half-day and other duration options available through the booking platform offer flexibility for events that don't require a full-day commitment, which is particularly convenient for corporate groups planning a focused session, lunch, or early-evening function. Planners can tailor the experience around Jones the Grocer's well-regarded food and beverage programme, which draws on the brand's heritage in quality ingredients and café-style dining.
Location & Accessibility
Dempsey Hill is one of Singapore's most distinctive lifestyle and dining destinations, occupying a cluster of colonial-era buildings surrounded by greenery in the Tanglin area. The address places Whole Restaurant within easy reach of Orchard Road and the central business district, while still feeling removed from the density of the city centre — a quality that many event planners actively seek when they want guests to feel transported without travelling far.
The precinct is primarily accessed by car or taxi, and ample parking is available within the Dempsey Hill compound, making it practical for groups arriving from across the island. For international guests or delegates based near Orchard Road, the short drive adds to the experience rather than detracting from it. The surrounding greenery and heritage architecture of Dempsey Hill mean that the venue's appeal extends beyond its four walls, offering an atmospheric arrival experience that sets the tone for any event held inside.
