What are the minimum spend requirements for different group sizes and days?

Minimum spends vary significantly by group size and day of the week. For 70 guests, Wednesday requires £5,000 (VAT inc) and Thursday £5,775 (VAT inc) for 18:00-23:00. Groups of 150 require £12,655 (VAT inc) for semi-private areas, while full venue hire for large groups starts at £8,800 plus VAT (18:00-00:00). A 25% deposit is required to confirm booking, with remaining balance due at least 1 month before the event.

What's included in the Christmas packages and how do they work?

Christmas packages include food served buffet-style 20-30 minutes after arrival, drinks in ice buckets on tables, and reserved area before mini golf. All guests must choose the same package unless dietary requirements differ. If the package total is below minimum spend, the remaining balance becomes a bar tab for additional food or drinks.

How long does mini golf take and how is it organized for groups?

Mini golf takes approximately 30 minutes per team of up to 6 people, with teams teeing off a few minutes apart. For 70 guests, expect around 1 hour 15 minutes total, while 150 guests need roughly 2.5 hours to complete. All teams play on the same course sequentially in groups of maximum 6 people.

What are the venue's operating hours and timing restrictions?

The venue opens at 12:00 PM, so morning events cannot be accommodated. Evening events typically run 18:00-23:00 or 18:00-00:00 depending on booking type. Events requiring quiz setups or special activities may need full venue hire rather than semi-private areas.

What additional costs should I expect beyond the minimum spend?

A 12.5% optional service charge is added to all bills. Mini golf costs £13 per person if not included in packages. Food and drinks must be pre-ordered from their bar menu, and any spend below minimum requirements becomes a mandatory bar tab to reach the minimum.

Can we bring our own catering or external vendors?

External catering appears to require special approval and discussion with management. The venue prefers to provide food from their shareables, pizza sections, and bottled drinks menu. For music events or DJ requirements, you need to contact the General Manager directly for equipment access and approval.

What capacity limits apply to different areas and event types?

Semi-private areas accommodate up to 70-150 guests depending on configuration. Half venue hire supports up to 250 people standing, while full venue hire is required for groups over 250 or events needing special setups like quizzes. The venue can accommodate up to 750 guests for exclusive hire.

Are there age restrictions for evening events?

The venue requires information about children's ages for evening events, suggesting there may be restrictions or special considerations for minors during evening hours. This is particularly relevant for family celebrations or events where children will be present after standard daytime hours.

What dietary accommodations and package flexibility is available?

Fully vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free packages are available when needed. However, all guests must select the same package unless they have specific allergies or dietary requirements. The venue can accommodate various dietary restrictions but requires advance notice for special arrangements.

What happens if we don't reach the minimum spend requirement?

If your food and drink packages total less than the required minimum spend, the remaining balance automatically becomes a bar tab that must be used on the day for additional food or drinks. This ensures you always meet the minimum spend requirement regardless of initial package selection.
