The venue offers buffet menus at £35 per person or 3-course plated menus at £68 per person with three choices (meat, fish, and vegetarian options).

What are the capacity limits and setup options for dining events?

The Brasserie Restaurant can accommodate dining events with either long tables or existing mixed table setup configurations. The venue can handle private dining for groups ranging from approximately 35-40 people for exclusive use of the restaurant space.

What are the standard operating hours for dining events?

Dining events typically run from 18:30 to 22:00 for evening service. The venue cannot accommodate evening meetings in spaces with bedrooms on the same floor due to operational restrictions.

How long are booking holds maintained and what are the confirmation requirements?

Booking holds are typically maintained for 2-5 days depending on the option type. First option bookings require confirmation within 5 days, while some urgent bookings may need confirmation by specific deadlines (such as next day by 2pm or 3pm). Bookings are released from the system if no feedback is received within the hold period.

What catering options and pricing are available for dining events?

The venue offers buffet menus at £35 per person and 3-course plated menus at £68 per person with meat, fish, and vegetarian options. Drinks costs are based on pre-order arrangements. All catering must meet the £2,000 minimum spend requirement for exclusive restaurant use.

Are there restrictions on external catering or decorators for dining events?

The venue has not specified policies regarding external catering in the available information. However, given the restaurant's own catering offerings and minimum spend requirements, external catering arrangements would need to be discussed directly with the venue management.

What booking options are available and how do they affect pricing?

The venue offers First Option (priority booking valid for specified days) and Shared Option (multiple parties may hold the same dates with first to contract getting priority). Pricing may be subject to change if initial requirements are modified, and all quotes are subject to availability.

What happens if there are last-minute booking requests or changes?

The venue cannot accommodate last-minute bookings due to time constraints and logistics required for handover to the hotel team for final planning. The Meeting & Events office is closed over weekends, making very short notice bookings impossible to process properly.
