External catering is only permitted on Sundays. All other days require use of the hotel's catering services. Public areas cannot be booked or cordoned off for events as this affects other guests' experience, so only dedicated meeting spaces can be hired.

The venue does not host proms or certain types of events. They have specific policies around event types and will decline bookings that don't align with their venue standards or guest experience requirements.
