Frequently Asked Questions
What are the capacity limits and minimum spend requirements for the Business space?
The Business space (lounge bar on the first floor) accommodates up to 100 guests seated for lunch and dinner or 150 guests standing for drinks and finger food. There is no room hire fee, but you must meet a minimum spend of £2,500 on food and beverage plus 12.5% service charge on top.
What deposit is required and how does the payment process work?
A £250 deposit is required to confirm your booking, which will be redeemed against your final bill or refunded back to your card. The deposit secures your date and is separate from the minimum spend requirement.
What facilities and equipment are included in the Business space?
The space includes 4 HD TVs, ability to have your own DJ with disco ball and lights, a private bar, and private toilets on the same floor. You can also access the venue's cloakroom for an additional charge.
Can I bring external catering or hire outside vendors?
All food and drink must be purchased at the venue - external catering is not permitted. You have no access to a kitchen for outside food preparation. However, you can bring your own DJ for entertainment.
What are the booking hold periods and cancellation policies?
Enquiries are typically held open for 24 hours before being released if no response is received. You can reopen enquiries at a later stage if needed, but availability is not guaranteed.
Are there any restrictions on event types or timing?

You must spend a minimum of £2,500 on food and beverage, plus 12.5% service charge (£312.50), bringing your minimum total to £2,812.50. The £250 deposit is deducted from this final amount, so your remaining balance would be £2,562.50.
