Frequently asked questions
What are the minimum spend requirements for different days of the week?

Friday and Saturday require significantly higher spends due to The London Cabaret Club shows, with Friday dry hire starting at £21,000 + VAT and Saturday minimum spend at £35,000 + VAT.
What capacity limits apply for different seating arrangements?
The Ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests for banqueting/seated dining, 350 guests in theatre style, and up to 500 guests for standing reception. The venue can comfortably host 150-200 standing guests while leaving space for additional furniture or entertainment setups.
What are the mandatory additional charges beyond the minimum spend?
Venue hire charges range from £5,000-£6,000 + VAT and include AV technician, security, cloakroom attendant, and furniture. An AV technician for the Rose Bar costs an additional £500 + VAT. Late finishes beyond standard hours incur extra charges, with 2AM finish costing £1,500 + VAT.
Which days offer the best rates and availability?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday offer the best rates as The London Cabaret Club operates Thursday through Saturday. The venue actively promotes these weekdays for private events due to significantly lower minimum spends and greater flexibility.
What AV equipment is included and what are the technical capabilities?
The venue includes comprehensive AV equipment worth £2,500 + VAT at no additional charge: 6 projector walls, microphones, remote clicker, stage, multiple lighting settings, uplighters, and sound system. The space features state-of-the-art AV and lighting systems suitable for presentations and entertainment.
What are the food and beverage pricing ranges?

What is the booking hold policy and response timeframe?
The venue does not automatically hold spaces for enquiries. If clients don't respond within one week of an enquiry, the venue releases the space assuming the booking is no longer required. Quick decision-making is essential to secure dates.
Are there restrictions on Friday and Saturday bookings?
Friday and Saturday bookings require cancelling The London Cabaret Club shows, resulting in significantly higher costs. Friday dry hire starts at £21,000 + VAT, while Saturday minimum spend reaches £35,000 + VAT. The venue strongly encourages weekday bookings for better value.
What entertainment and additional services are available?
Entertainment options range from £450 + VAT for a DJ to £2,400-£10,000 + VAT for full shows. The venue can accommodate external entertainment suppliers including casino setups. A photobooth is included in the space amenities.
