116 Pall Mall

Weekend events require an overall minimum spend of £15,000 to open the venue, as 116 Pall Mall only operates during weekdays under normal circumstances. This minimum applies to the total event cost including venue hire, catering, and any additional services.

Standard venue hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. Early access before 8:00 AM or late access after 5:00 PM incurs additional charges of £1,250 + VAT per hour. Events can be extended until 1:00 AM with these hourly charges applying.

A 50% deposit is required within 14 days of signing the contract to secure your booking. The deposit payment deadline can be extended in some cases, such as the example where it was extended to the end of September for a March 2026 event. Full payment of hire fees and catering packages is required prior to the event date.

Contracts must be signed promptly to secure dates, as spaces remain liable to sell until contracted. Provisional holds can be given 48-hour deadlines to make decisions when competing bookings exist. The venue requires signed contracts before confirming bookings, with some requiring signature within specific timeframes like Friday deadlines mentioned in correspondence.

Payments can be made via BACS transfer, phone payments, or payment links (AMEX not accepted on payment links). AMEX payments are accepted via PDQ machine over the phone but incur an additional 5% charge of the invoice value. BACS payments require remittance copies to be forwarded to the accounts team.

Meeting rooms include built-in equipment such as plasma screens, flipcharts, and HDMI connections. Room 402 specifically offers plasma screen, flipchart, and HDMI for up to 20 people in U-shape layout. Additional AV requirements like projectors, screens, and microphones can be arranged with separate quotations provided.

Meeting room hire costs £1,000 + VAT for full day and £550 + VAT for half day. Additional hours after 6:00 PM are charged at £100 + VAT per hour. The hire includes the room, basic AV equipment, and access to catering packages which must be ordered separately.

Catering packages include filtered water at £3.75 + VAT per person, tea/coffee and pastries at £7.00 + VAT per person, and sandwich lunch with crisps, fruit and water at £23 + VAT per person. External catering is strictly forbidden in the venue, and all food must be provided by Searcys.

Cancellation terms and conditions apply immediately after signing the contract. While specific cancellation policies aren't detailed in the available information, the venue notes that these terms become effective upon contract signature, suggesting deposits and payments may be subject to cancellation fees.

The booking process requires providing event name, full company name and address, signee details (name, email, phone), and invoicing contact information. Contracts must be signed on specific pages (typically pages 4 and 6) to be valid, and site visits can be arranged during business hours with advance notice.
