Can dietary requirements like gluten-free options be accommodated?

Yes, gluten-free options can be provided including GF sandwiches and ensuring some salads are gluten-free. However, with short notice, finger food may not be available as gluten-free, and there is a risk of cross-contamination once food is served despite separate preparation and packaging.

What is the booking and payment process?

After agreeing terms, a contract is issued for signature and return. Payment is made through the "Welcome to Myo" email which provides access to an online portal where invoices can be viewed and paid via credit card. Guest lists must be provided in advance for pre-registration purposes.

These rooms have full-day hire rates from 08:30 to 17:30.

What are the venue manager's working days for coordination?

The venue manager Ainara works Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. For new enquiries, direct requests should be sent to ainara.mateu@landsec.com, and on-site colleagues will coordinate catering details once contracts are signed.

Is there a lounge area available for refreshments and networking?

Yes, there is a Ground Floor Lounge located directly outside the Event Suite that can accommodate up to 60 guests for standing refreshments and lunch service. This shared common area is perfect for informal networking and break times during events.

What happens if the venue cannot accommodate a booking request?

If MYO Bankside has no availability for requested dates, the venue management will actively help find alternative venues for customers. They have a process in place to assist with sourcing suitable alternative locations when they cannot accommodate the original request.

Are there any budget considerations or discounts available?

For multiple bookings, discounts may be available - one example showed a 15% discount offered for booking 8 days by a specific deadline, saving over £4,000 plus VAT. However, the venue may be cost-prohibitive for some budgets, as evidenced by NHS organizations with £8,000 total budgets finding the pricing too high for their requirements.
