The Ned

The Tapestry Room requires a minimum food and beverage spend of £7,500 including VAT. This amount can be used against pre-ordered food from private dining menus and any beverages consumed on the 6th floor during your event. If the minimum spend is not met with food and beverage, the shortfall is charged as room hire.

The Tapestry Room accommodates up to 80 guests in cabaret style, 80 guests on round tables, or 120 guests on round tables depending on AV requirements. For presentations where everyone needs to see a screen, capacity may be reduced and additional side screens are recommended for guests at the back.

Standard access for business meetings is from 08:00 to 17:00. Some rooms like The Drawing Room offer access from 08:30 to 17:00, while others may have access from 09:00 to 17:00 depending on the specific space booked.

Beyond the minimum spend, you must budget for a mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge on all catering consumption. AV equipment and any third-party services (such as flowers or additional equipment) are charged separately and not included in the minimum spend.

The minimum spend can cover arrival tea/coffee with breakfast items, mid-morning tea/coffee breaks with food options, working lunch, afternoon tea/coffee breaks with food options, water throughout the day (refreshed at breaks), branded stationery and pens, and a dedicated Events Manager on-hand throughout the day.

The Drawing Room has a minimum food and beverage spend of £3,250 including VAT for up to 26 guests in boardroom style. The RWB Room requires £2,750 including VAT for up to 26 guests boardroom or 21 cabaret style.

Yes, all room capacities are subject to AV requirements. When presentations or screens are needed, the venue may recommend additional side screens for larger groups, and maximum capacity may be reduced to ensure all attendees have clear sightlines to the presentation area.

AV equipment is available but charged separately from the minimum spend. The venue can provide screens for presentations and microphones for speakers, with additional side screens recommended for larger groups to ensure visibility from the back of the room.

The venue offers a 5-day optional hold on meeting spaces upon request. Space is not automatically held during the enquiry process, so you need to specifically request a hold to secure your preferred dates while finalizing details.

For very small groups (such as 12 people), The Ned may recommend their individual reservations process rather than private hire, as small groups may not constitute a group booking. However, private meeting rooms are still available with appropriate minimum spends.
