Frequently asked questions
What are the payment terms and timeline for booking the Film and Photo space?
Payment is required in two installments: 50% due upon signing the contract and the remaining 50% due 30 days before your event. All catering costs for food and beverages must be pre-ordered and settled before the event to cover staffing costs.
Can I bring my own caterer or do I have to use the in-house catering team?
The venue prefers all catering to be provided by their in-house team, Blue Strawberry. If you want to bring an outside caterer, there is a mandatory £3,000 kitchen buyout fee, which may not be cost-effective for smaller events.
What are the hourly rates for different meeting rooms at the venue?
The Chairman's Room (22 capacity) is priced at £200 per hour plus VAT. The Court of Quarter is £150 per hour plus VAT. Meeting room bookings can be made through the Knotel app at app.knotel.com.
Is there step-free access available for guests with mobility requirements?
Yes, the venue has lift access from street level that takes you directly to the Dining Room, and there are accessible toilets available. This ensures the space is accessible for guests with mobility needs.
Will there be security provided during my event?
Yes, security will be provided during evening events. The venue team will also provide signage and can check people in when they enter, and they will brief their team to ensure guests are directed to the correct areas.
What happens if there are other events taking place at the same time as mine?
The venue may host multiple events simultaneously, such as large events with 200+ guests in the Great Room and Bar. The venue will provide signage and direct guests to appropriate areas, and they maintain transparency about concurrent events before booking confirmation.
How do I arrange catering and what contact information do I need to provide?
Catering is handled by Blue Strawberry, the in-house catering team. You'll need to provide your email address and company details, and the venue will connect you directly with Gilly Law at gilly@bluestrawberry.co.uk for catering quotes and arrangements.
Can I schedule a site visit before confirming my booking?
Yes, site visits can be arranged. The venue team is available for morning appointments, typically between 10am-12pm on weekdays, to show you the space and discuss specific details for your event.
What are the typical event end times and any restrictions?
Events typically finish before 9pm for smaller gatherings, though larger events in other spaces may run until 11:30pm. The venue will coordinate timing with you to ensure your event schedule works with any concurrent bookings.
What information do I need to provide to secure a booking?
To secure your booking, you need to provide your email address, company details, and confirm your event requirements. The venue will then draw up a contract that breaks down all costs and arrange the payment schedule.
