What are the standard event timings and any restrictions?

Most events run from 6pm-11pm or 7pm-midnight, with some daytime options from 2pm-6pm. DJ music must stop at 11pm for evening events. The venue offers flexibility on timing but standard packages are structured around these core hours.

What food and beverage restrictions apply?

You can only bring your own cake (£100 fee applies). All other food must come through The Hari's kitchen with pre-orders required. Cocktails must be pre-ordered, and bottled beverages are charged on consumption. The venue will notify you when minimum spend is reached during the event.

Can I bring my own DJ or entertainment?

You can bring your own DJ only at The Garden Terrace as it's a fully private space. DJs are not permitted in The Snug or other semi-private areas. All DJ music must stop at 11pm regardless of the space.

How does the booking hold and confirmation process work?

The venue places holds on dates but releases them if no response is received by specified deadlines (often by 12pm on the day for same-day events). You need to confirm your booking within the hold period or the space will be released to other clients.

What's included in room hire versus minimum spend requirements?

Room hire covers the space only. Minimum spend is in addition to room hire and covers all food and beverages consumed. For example, The Garden Terrace costs £950 room hire plus £1,500 minimum spend, totaling £2,450 before service charge. The Snug has complimentary room hire but still requires £1,500 minimum spend.

Are there alternative dining options if private spaces exceed budget?

Yes, il Pampero restaurant offers semi-private dining with lower minimum spends (£1,000-£1,100) but it's a table within the restaurant, not fully private. This provides a middle-ground option between private hire and standard restaurant booking.

What AV equipment and technical facilities are available?

The venue provides complimentary hand-held microphones and HD TV screens. The Muse meeting room includes AV equipment in its day hire rate. Specific technical requirements should be discussed during booking as capabilities may vary by space.

How are service charges calculated and when are they applied?

Service charges range from 12.5% to 13.5% depending on the space and are applied to the total food and beverage spend (not room hire). This is added on top of your minimum spend requirement and any consumption above the minimum.
