Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum spend required to open 116 Pall Mall for weekend events?
A minimum spend of £15,000 is required to open the venue on weekends, as the venue only operates during weekdays normally. This minimum applies to the total event cost including venue hire, catering, and any additional services.
What are the standard operating hours and what are the charges for extended access?
Standard venue hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm on weekdays. Early access before 8:00am or late access after 5:00pm/11:00pm (depending on space) incurs additional charges of £1,250 + VAT per hour.
What payment terms and deposit requirements apply for bookings?
A 50% deposit is required within 14 days of signing the contract to secure your booking. The venue accepts payment by BACS transfer, over the phone, or via payment link (AMEX not accepted via payment link). AMEX payments via PDQ machine incur an additional 5% charge of the invoice value.
How far in advance must the contract be signed to secure a date?
Contracts must be signed promptly as dates are liable to sell until contracted. The venue typically requires contract signature within 48 hours for provisional holds, and specific deadlines are communicated during the booking process.
What are the dining package options and pricing structure?
Dining packages vary by event type and guest numbers. Examples include a Christmas Dinner Package at £186 + VAT per person (120 minimum) and an upgraded Dinner Package at £284 + VAT per person (50 minimum). All packages include venue hire, catering, drinks, security, and cloakroom services.
What catering restrictions and requirements apply to events?
External catering is strictly forbidden at the venue. All catering must be provided by Searcys, the in-house caterers. A choice of one dish from each course is required for the whole party (set menu), and dietary requirements are catered for separately to the chosen menu.
What dining room capacities are available for seated events?
The Carlton room accommodates 120 seated for dinner with reception space or 180 seated for dinner only. Other spaces mentioned include various capacities, with the venue able to accommodate different group sizes depending on the specific dining room selected.
What additional services are included in dining packages?
Dining packages typically include security and cloakroom services, filtered still and sparkling mineral water, table centrepieces, and venue hire. Christmas packages include traditional theming, while some packages include DJ and dancefloor services for post-dinner entertainment.
What are the requirements for table plans and guest information?
Clients must provide a table plan and name places on the day of the event to ensure smooth operations. Final guest numbers and menu selections are required in advance, though specific deadlines vary by event and should be confirmed during booking.
What AV equipment and technical services are available for dining events?
The venue can provide screens, projectors, microphones (including lapel and handheld options), and staging for presentations during dining events. AV requirements are quoted separately and technical specifications should be discussed during the planning process.
