The porterhouse does do food and there is a spacious room at the back that
you can reserve.

Scrap my suggestion re the maple leaf - the porterhouse is a much better idea!

[Bruno Girin]

Or alternatively, you've got the Porterhouse across the road: large pub
and micro-brewery over 3 floors with lots of space so they should
probably be able to reserve an area. Not sure about food though.

Another one I quite like is Bunken Bar on Earlham St: underground place
and quite large. Don't know about food either.

Both of them are within walking distance of BCS and Covent Garden tube
station.

May I suggest the maple leaf - it's about 100th yards from the bcs. Canadian 
themed though

The montagu pyke is reasonably large, well placed and I have known
groups to book a good portion of it for events.

I have been made aware of an important factual error in my earlier 
email, the royal fiancées actually went to St Andrews and not Edinburgh.
