Frequently asked questions

The Tapestry Room requires a minimum food and beverage spend of £7,500 including VAT for up to 80 guests. This amount can be used against pre-ordered food from private dining menus and any beverages consumed on the 6th floor during your event. There is no separate room hire charge, but any minimum spend not met with food and beverage would be charged as room hire.

The Tapestry Room accommodates a maximum of 80 guests in cabaret style, 120 guests on round tables, or 150 guests in theatre layout. However, capacity is subject to AV requirements, which may reduce these numbers. For presentations where everyone needs to see a screen, the venue recommends additional side screens for guests at the back.

Standard access is from 08:00 to 17:00 for daytime events. For evening events, access is typically from 18:30 to midnight, with organisers and suppliers welcomed from 17:00. Music must be off at midnight and this timing cannot be extended.

You must add a mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge to all food and beverage consumption. AV equipment and any third-party services (such as flowers or entertainment) are additional costs on top of the minimum spend. These are not included in the base pricing.

The venue can provide screens, microphones, and presentation equipment, but specific AV requirements may reduce the room's capacity. For larger groups in cabaret style, the venue suggests additional screens on the sides of the room because people at the back might find it difficult to see the main screen at the front.

For full-day events, The Ned offers comprehensive packages including arrival tea/coffee with breakfast items, mid-morning tea/coffee break with food options, working lunch, afternoon tea/coffee break with food options, water throughout the day (refreshed at breaks), branded stationery, pens and pads, plus a dedicated Events Manager on-hand throughout the day.

The venue offers a 5-day optional hold upon request while you make your decision. Space is not automatically held during the enquiry process, so booking confirmation is required to secure your date. The venue can get fully committed on popular dates, so early booking is recommended.

The Drawing Room has a minimum food and beverage spend of £3,250 including VAT for up to 26 guests in boardroom style. This covers the room usage with no additional hire charge, but AV equipment and third-party services are extra, plus the mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge.

Some dates may only be available for multi-day events alongside group accommodation requirements. Single-day events are more readily available on Mondays and Fridays when multi-day restrictions are not typically in place. The venue may require you to check back 6-8 weeks prior to your event date for final availability confirmation.

For very small groups (under 12 people), The Ned may not consider this a group booking and will direct you to their individual reservations process instead. The minimum spends still apply regardless of actual attendance, so you'll pay the full minimum even if fewer guests attend than the room's capacity.
