Frequently asked questions
What are the minimum spend requirements and costs for event spaces at Chotto Matte?
Minimum food and beverage spends (excluding 15% service charge) are as follows: Claude's (private room) – £5,000 (day/evening, up from £3,000-£6,000 depending on day and event size), Itamae (semi-private) – £8,000 (seated only), Bar & Lounge (semi-private) – £10,000, Lava Lounge – £9,000 to £12,000 depending on the day and guest count. All quoted minimum spends include 20% VAT but do not include the mandatory 15% service charge, which will be added to the total.
What is the capacity for each event space at Chotto Matte?
Claude's accommodates up to 20 seated or 50 standing guests; Itamae accommodates up to 40 seated; Bar & Lounge fits up to 60 standing; Lava Lounge accommodates up to 60 seated or 80 standing. For corporate or larger events, capacities can be combined with multiple spaces depending on availability.
What are the available timings for event hires at Chotto Matte?
Standard event hire times typically run for 4-6 hours during evening slots (e.g., 7pm–11pm or 9pm–1am), with some flexibility for earlier or later access depending on your booking. Specific slots for Lava Lounge might include 18:00–00:00 or late-night timings such as 1:30–4:30am (special arrangements). Setup and breakdown access times must be coordinated in advance, as there are no published early access policies.
What are the payment terms and booking process for securing a date?
To secure a date, a signed contract and 50% initial deposit are required. The space is only held after these are received—enquiries or viewings alone do not hold the space. Remaining payments and full balance deadlines are not specified in available information.
Are there any mandatory additional fees or service charges?
A mandatory 15% service charge applies to the total food and beverage spend on top of minimums. All minimum spends include 20% VAT but EXCLUDE this 15% service charge, which is calculated after totals. There are no stated venue hire or bouncer/security fees unless late-night extension is requested (see below).
Is bringing in external entertainment or vendors permitted?
Claude's private room allows for you to bring your own entertainment, such as DJs or other acts, by arrangement. There are no published vendor approval or corkage details; all specifics must be agreed during booking. AV facilities such as a DJ booth or sound system are built into some spaces but third-party AV is not mentioned.
Are there restrictions on event types, catering, or what is not permitted?
Dry hire (use of the space only, no catering) is not generally offered based on examples provided. All events are required to meet food and beverage minimums; outside catering is not referenced as permitted. Menus are set from Chotto Matte's group dining or canapés packages—special requests such as halal options can be discussed but are not detailed.
What is the policy on timing extensions and late finishes?
For requests to extend event end time beyond standard finish (e.g., from 1am to 3am), a fee covering a bouncer/security person applies. The exact per-hour charge is not specified in the available data, but this is a mandatory add-on for any late extensions. The exit procedure may differ for late departures.
How does space availability and booking holds work?
Spaces remain open for booking by others until you have signed the contract and paid 50% deposit. Enquiries about a date or viewing do NOT guarantee the space; availability may change quickly due to multiple enquiries for popular dates.
Can I have a DJ or live music at my event, and what does this cost?
A DJ booth and sound system are available in Claude's and included at no charge during Saturday events; other days or additional DJ requirements may require additional discussion. No explicit hire fee for in-house DJs is stated except in cases where partial-evening hires are requested—pricing for this is not disclosed.
What catering options and packages are available?
Events are catered from Chotto Matte's group dining, canapés, and drinks menus. Menus and drinks packages are tailored for each group size and event type; sample menus are available upon request. Halal options are available by request but no details are listed.
