What are the minimum spend requirements for the Dining space?

The Dining space operates on minimum spend requirements that vary by day and group size. For 70 guests on Wednesday evenings (18:00-23:00), the minimum spend is £5,000 including VAT, while Thursday evenings require £5,775 including VAT. Larger groups of 150 guests require £12,655 including VAT for semi-private hire (18:00-23:00). If your package value is lower than the minimum spend, the remaining balance must be used as a bar tab for additional food or drinks.

What capacity limits apply to the Dining space?

The Dining space can accommodate up to 70 guests for semi-private hire. For larger groups of 150+ guests, you'll need to book a semi-private area with higher minimum spends. Groups requiring full venue hire (such as those needing quiz equipment) would need to book the entire venue with significantly higher minimum spends starting at £24,750 plus VAT.

What are the standard operating hours and event timing restrictions?

The venue opens at 12:00 PM and typical evening events run from 18:00-23:00. Events cannot start before the venue opens at noon. Evening events from 6:30 PM onwards are accommodated, and the venue can host events until midnight for full venue hire bookings.

How do the Christmas packages work and what do they include?

Christmas packages must be chosen uniformly by all guests (unless dietary requirements differ) and are served buffet-style 20-30 minutes after arrival time. Packages include food, drinks served in ice buckets on tables upon arrival, and a reserved area prior to your mini golf round. The Christmas Platinum package costs £67 per person including VAT and includes unlimited house drinks for 2 hours, 9 food items per person, and 1 game of mini golf.

What are the payment terms and deposit requirements?

A 25% deposit based on the minimum spend is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance must be paid at least 1 month before the event date. All payments are subject to a 12.5% optional service charge added to the final bill.

How does the mini golf component work for dining events?

Mini golf is included in most packages at £13 per person when booked separately. The game takes approximately 30 minutes per team of up to 6 people, with teams teeing off a few minutes apart on the same course. For a group of 70 people, it takes roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to complete, while 150 people would take approximately 2.5 hours to finish the game.

What food and beverage options are available?

Food must be pre-ordered from shareables and pizza sections plus bottled drinks from the Bar Menu. Fully vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free packages are available if needed. Wednesday bookings can include a complimentary bubbly reception (one glass of Prosecco per person). Additional drinks can be purchased through bar tabs if your spending doesn't meet the minimum requirement.

Are there restrictions for children's events?

For evening events involving children, the venue requires information about the children's ages and total number of kids attending before providing quotes and packages. This suggests there may be specific policies or package modifications for events with minors during evening hours.

Can external catering or entertainment be brought in?

The venue provides its own catering from their menu, and there's no mention of external catering being permitted. For entertainment, the venue can accommodate events requiring quiz equipment for full venue hire, but specific entertainment policies would need to be confirmed directly with the venue management.

What happens if my group size changes after booking?

The venue quotes are based on specific group sizes (e.g., 70 or 150 guests), and minimum spends are tied to these numbers. If your group size changes significantly, it may affect your minimum spend requirements and potentially require rebooking into a different space category or hire type.
