If you don't meet the minimum spend through food and beverage, the shortfall is charged as room hire.

The RWB Room holds 26 boardroom style, 21 cabaret style, or 50 standing. The Saloon accommodates 100 guests theatre style, 50 cabaret style, or 100 standing.
What are the standard access hours and can they be extended?
Standard access varies by event type: business meetings typically run 8:30am-5:00pm, while evening events access from 6:30pm-midnight with organizer setup from 5:00pm. Music must be off at midnight and cannot be extended. Some rooms offer 9:00am-5:00pm access for day meetings.
What additional costs should I budget beyond the minimum spend?
All events incur a mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge on food and beverage consumption. AV equipment and any third-party suppliers (flowers, entertainment, etc.) are additional costs on top of the minimum spend. These charges are not included in the minimum spend calculation.
What AV equipment is available and how much does it cost?
The venue can provide screens, microphones, and presentation equipment, with additional screens recommended for larger rooms like The Tapestry to ensure visibility from the back. AV costs are additional to the minimum spend, but specific pricing for equipment is not provided in standard quotes and must be requested separately.
Can events run past midnight or extend their hours?
No, events must end at midnight and music must be turned off at this time with no exceptions for extensions. For day events, access typically ends at 5:00pm. Evening events can have organizer access from 5:00pm but guest access usually starts at 6:30pm.
What catering packages are included in the minimum spend?
Day packages can include arrival tea/coffee with breakfast items, mid-morning breaks, working lunch, afternoon tea/coffee breaks, water throughout the day, and branded stationery. Evening events can use the minimum spend toward any pre-ordered food from private dining menus and beverages consumed on the 6th floor during your event.
Are there restrictions on guest numbers or event types?
The venue cannot accommodate events requiring more than 150 guests in theatre style or 120 guests on round tables. For awards ceremonies or events where everyone faces a screen/stage, maximum capacity drops to 80 guests. The venue prioritizes multi-day events with group accommodation on certain dates, limiting single-day event availability.
How far in advance should I book and what is the hold policy?
The venue offers a 5-day optional hold upon request while you make your decision. Spaces are not automatically held during the quote process. For popular dates, especially during peak seasons, booking well in advance is recommended as availability can be limited.
What menu pricing should I expect for seated dinners?
Set menus start from £109 for the Chairman's Private Dining menu, with choice menus going up to £134. Seasonal festive menus start from £119 and can reach £134 for choice options. These prices are per person and count toward your minimum spend requirement.
