How does the booking and payment process work?

Can I use external suppliers or must I use Kachette's preferred vendors?

You can use your own suppliers as it's a dry-hire venue, but Kachette charges a fee for external caterers or bar operators depending on the service level required. Alternatively, you can work with their preferred suppliers list available on their website, with packaged options available.

Are there any restrictions on event types or special requirements?

The venue is suitable for various business events including conferences, corporate parties, AGMs, networking events, and pop-ups. There's disabled access, allocated outdoor smoking area, loading bay access, and cloakroom facilities. The venue can accommodate wheelchair users and has accessible bathroom facilities.

What catering and bar arrangements are available?

As a dry-hire venue, you can arrange your own catering or use preferred suppliers. Cater London is mentioned as a preferred partner for F&B and furniture requirements. The venue has a fixed bar structure in the Annex and can accommodate various catering setups from networking refreshments to full conference packages.

How do the three spaces connect and can they be hired separately?

Kachette has 3 flexible event areas: 2 large railway arches (Arch 1 & 2) and a brightly day-lit reception space (Annex). The spaces directly interconnect for seamless flow. You can hire individual spaces like the Annex separately, or combine Arch 1 & 2, or hire all three spaces together for maximum flexibility.
