HERA Restaurant

The minimum spend for exclusive venue hire of the HERA Restaurant is £16,000. This covers the venue hire fee when your total event spend meets this threshold. If your budget is below this amount, you would need to book the semi-private dining room instead, which accommodates up to 40 guests.

HERA's daily opening hours are 11:00am to 11:00pm. Events must finish by 11:00pm as this is when the venue closes. The venue is located in a corporate/residential area and is subject to standard noise restrictions.

HERA offers bespoke set menus at £50 per person for a 3-course meal. For example, a 130-guest event would cost £6,500 for food (130 x £50). The venue creates customized menus based on your event requirements and can accommodate both seated dinner and cocktail/canapé style events.

For exclusive venue hire, HERA can accommodate 100-130 seated guests with space remaining for a DJ and dancefloor area. The semi-private dining room accommodates up to 40 guests for seated experiences. Smaller groups of 30 guests can also be accommodated without requiring exclusive hire.

Drinks packages are customized based on your budget and preferences. For a 130-guest event with a £10,000 budget, after £6,500 for food, the remaining £3,500 would create a drinks tab covering approximately 5-6 drinks per guest. You can choose to let guests pay for additional drinks once the tab runs out or top up the package.

HERA provides a dedicated separate speaker system with two microphones available for speeches, ceremonies, and presentations. This equipment is included for events and suitable for award ceremonies or other speaking requirements.

For private venue hire, HERA can play your desired playlist through their restaurant speaker system at no additional cost. Alternatively, they can book a DJ for you at an additional cost, with pricing dependent on how many hours you require the DJ to play.

Service charges are added to all events, with estimates showing approximately £1,980 service charge for a 70-guest event with £15,000 spend. The exact service charge percentage is not specified but appears to be calculated as a percentage of your total event spend.

HERA requires confirmation of event timing (lunch or dinner), style preference (seated meal or cocktail/canapé style), estimated budget range or spend per person, and specific start and finish times. This information helps them recommend the most appropriate packages and options for your event.

HERA defines itself as a fine-dining restaurant and events space, suitable for private dinners, birthday parties, Christmas parties, and corporate events. The venue is not suitable for club-style events due to noise restrictions and its location in a corporate/residential area.
