Frequently Asked Questions
How does the minimum spend pricing work and what are the typical costs?
Bounce Farringdon operates on a minimum spend basis with no venue hire fee. Minimum spends vary by date and time - for example, Sunday events range from £6,000 for half-day (11am-3:30pm) to £14,000 for full day (11am-close). All minimum spend amounts are subject to VAT and 12.5% service charge on top.
What exactly can the minimum spend be used towards?
The minimum spend can be allocated towards any combination of food, drinks, and activity costs. You can pre-order from the a la carte menu for sharing-style food (not buffet style), put the remainder towards a bar tab, or use it for activity packages. The spend is fully flexible across all venue offerings.
Are Saturday events available and how much more expensive are they?
Saturday events are possible but cost significantly more than weekday rates. The venue specifically mentions that Saturday costs will be "much higher than your budget" when discussing typical event budgets, though exact Saturday pricing isn't specified in the available information.

The venue offers several spaces including The Vault (up to 100 standing guests with 3 ping pong tables and 2 Ping Pong X tables), The Jaques Room (up to 100 standing guests with 3 ping pong tables, 1 beer pong table, karaoke, and private bar), and The Playground (up to 200 guests with 5 ping pong tables, 5 Ping Pong X tables, and 1 beer pong table).
