Bakers' Hall

Bakers' Hall offers different dining packages depending on your requirements. The DDR (Day Delegate Rate) package is £70 +VAT per person and includes hire of the Livery Hall & Charter Gallery from 09:00-17:00, arrival tea/coffee/pastries, mid-morning refreshments, sandwich lunch with fruit juice, mid-afternoon tea/coffee/biscuits, and jugs of water throughout the day. For smaller groups, a £125 +VAT per person package includes the Print Room & Charter Gallery from 09:00-16:00 with continental breakfast, sandwich lunch, and refreshments. A basic package at £55 +VAT per person includes the Livery Hall from 08:00-16:00 with arrival refreshments and tea/coffee throughout the day.

The DDR package at £70 +VAT per person requires a minimum of 25 guests. Other package minimums are not specified in the available information, though smaller groups of 8 people have been quoted the £125 +VAT package.

Dining packages typically include multiple spaces: the Livery Hall serves as the main event space, while the Charter Gallery is used for dining and refreshments. The Print Room is available for smaller groups of around 8 people. The venue has indicated they cannot accommodate events with very high numbers, suggesting capacity limitations, though specific maximum capacities are not detailed in the available information.

Standard AV equipment includes a pull-up screen & projector, one handheld microphone with PA system, and flip chart with pens. The Print Room has AV equipment installed, so you only need to bring your laptop to connect. All packages include basic presentation equipment suitable for corporate dining events.

Standard venue hire typically runs from 08:00-17:00 or 09:00-16:00 depending on the package. If you need to start earlier, there is a one-off charge of £100 +VAT to extend venue hire to begin at 8:00am. Evening events are possible, as the venue mentions having evening bookings, though specific evening rates are not detailed.

The DDR package includes arrival tea/coffee/pastries, mid-morning tea/coffee/biscuits, sandwich lunch with fruit juice, mid-afternoon tea/coffee/biscuits, and jugs of water throughout the day. The £125 package includes continental breakfast buffet with tea/coffee/fresh orange juice, sandwich lunch with soft drinks, and tea/coffee during meetings. The basic £55 package includes arrival tea/coffee/pastries, refreshments throughout the day, and water jugs.

Yes, Bakers' Hall can place dates on hold in their diary while you make your decision. They operate a system where dates can be held on 'second option' if another client is considering the same date. The venue will chase clients holding dates for confirmed answers to free up availability for other bookings.

The comprehensive DDR package includes notepad & pen per person, plus all staff, linen, glassware, cutlery, and crockery. Basic packages include essential items like flip charts and water jugs, but may not include the full range of dining accessories and stationery items that come with the higher-tier packages.

If your preferred date is unavailable, Bakers' Hall will suggest alternative dates. They may offer dates in different weeks (such as suggesting the week commencing 31st March if 10th-14th March is unavailable) or check if your timing is flexible to work around existing bookings that may only occupy part of the day.

Yes, venue visits can be arranged. The events team regularly offers site visits to potential clients and encourages viewing the space before making a booking decision. You can contact them directly to schedule a visit to see the Charter Gallery and other dining spaces.
