Frequently Asked Questions
What are the payment terms and timeline for booking the Dining space?
Payment is required in two installments: 50% must be paid upon signing the contract, and the remaining 50% is due 30 days before your event. All catering costs for food and beverages must be pre-ordered and settled before the event, as this covers all staffing costs as well.
Can I bring my own caterer for events in the Dining space?
Outside catering is permitted but requires a £3,000 kitchen buyout fee. The venue strongly prefers to use their in-house catering team, Blue Strawberry, particularly for smaller events where the buyout fee may not be cost-effective.
Who handles all catering arrangements and how do I get quotes?
All catering is managed by Blue Strawberry, the venue's in-house catering team. Contact Gilly Law at gilly@bluestrawberry.co.uk for quotes and menu options, or the venue can connect you directly with Simon Youngman and Stuart Jenkins from the catering team.
Does the Dining space have accessible facilities and step-free access?
Yes, the Dining space has lift access directly from street level that takes you straight to the Dining Room. The venue also provides accessible toilets for guests who require them.
What security arrangements are provided for evening events?
The venue provides security staff for evening events and can arrange signage to direct guests to your specific event space. The security team will brief all staff to ensure guests are properly directed to the Dining Room.
Can multiple events run simultaneously at the venue?
Yes, the venue can host multiple events concurrently. The Dining Room is positioned away from other event spaces like the Great Room and Bar, which helps minimize noise interference between events running at the same time.
What table arrangements are available in the Dining space?
The Dining Room features round tables, which are ideal for facilitating small group discussions and creating an intimate dining atmosphere. This setup is particularly well-suited for private dinners and social gatherings.
What are the typical event timings and capacity for the Dining space?
Events in the Dining Room typically accommodate around 30-40 guests for intimate gatherings. Evening events commonly run from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, though specific timings can be arranged based on your requirements and the venue's availability.
