Frequently asked questions

How to plan for weather changes on an outdoor terrace?
Book a marquee or gazebo rated to 60 mph winds and include 12 kW patio heaters. Arrange a plan B indoor option or rapid-deploy canopies. Allocate a 15% buffer (£600–£1,200) of the hire budget for covers, heaters and flooring.
What transport options are best for guests to SE London terraces?
Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf; DLR to Greenwich; Overground to Bermondsey and Peckham Rye; Southeastern rail to Deptford. Riverboat services to Canary Wharf and Greenland Pier. Advise guests to use Oyster or contactless.
What furniture layout works best for 100 people outside?
Combine 20 high cocktail tables with benches and sofas for 50 seated guests. Leave 30% of the area open for circulation. Allocate 1.5 m² per standing guest and 2 m² per seated table. Use modular furniture for easy reconfiguration.
How much does it cost to hire an outdoor terrace for 100 guests in SE London?
Full venue hire typically ranges from £4,000–£12,000 for 100 attendees. Weekend peak dates push budgets to £8,000–£15,000. Additional costs include AV (£500–£1,500), security (£200–£400) and cleaning (£150–£300).
What licences are needed for a terrace event of 100 guests?
A premises licence covering alcohol sales and entertainment is required; alternatively a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for up to 499 guests. Adhere to noise limits (55 dB after 23:00). Consult the local council’s licensing team six weeks before.
How to manage waste at a 100-person terrace event?
Provide one 240 L general waste and one 240 L recycling bin per 50 guests. Arrange daily clearance or an on-site skip. Budget £150–£250 for waste removal services. Label bins clearly and assign staff to monitor bins.
How early should I book an SE London terrace for 100 guests?
For peak summer weekends, secure 9–12 months in advance to lock pricing. For off-peak months, 3–6 months’ notice usually suffices. Early booking guarantees your preferred date and reduces surcharge risk.
What AV setup is advisable for an outdoor terrace event of 100?
Use two weather-proof PA speakers (1,000 W total), one wireless microphone and LED uplighting. Budget £1,000–£1,500. Secure a 32 A outdoor socket or hire a 5 kVA generator. Insist on weatherproof cables and stands.
What catering options suit 100 guests on a terrace?
Buffet service at £40–£70 per head serves up to 100 in 2.5 hours; bowl food at £50–£80 per head for 6–8 items; seated dining from £100–£150 per head. Mobile bars cost £500–£1,000. Ensure shaded buffet stations and flow for self-service.
Which SE London areas have accessible terrace venues?
Key clusters are Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line, DLR), Greenwich (DLR, Southeastern), Bermondsey (Overground), Deptford (Southeastern), Peckham (Overground). All offer 24-hour transport and nearby CPZ parking. Riverboat piers serve Greenwich and Canary Wharf.
What size outdoor terrace is ideal for 100 guests?
Allow 1.2–1.5 m² per person for a total of 120–150 m², plus 20% extra for furniture, buffet tables and circulation. Ensure distinct zones for catering, bar and any entertainment. Confirm the venue offers clear dimensions and flexibility.
What deposit is required to secure an outdoor terrace for 100 people?
Venues typically request a 25% deposit (approx. £1,000–£3,000), refundable per T&Cs. The balance is due 30 days before the event. Payments by bank transfer or credit card are standard.
