What is the booking process and when is the deposit required?

A booking contract must be signed on pages 3 and 12 to confirm the booking. Once the signed contract is returned, a deposit invoice for room hire only will be sent. The venue requires company details including contact name, company name, address, telephone, and email for the contract.

How does the venue handle booking holds and what happens if multiple clients want the same date?

The venue operates on a 'joint first option' basis when multiple clients are interested in the same date. This means dates are held for interested parties, but it becomes first-come-first-served once one client decides to proceed with booking.

Is halal catering available for religious celebrations?

Yes, the venue's chicken is certified halal. This is available as part of their standard catering options including finger buffets and other menu items.

What communication restrictions apply when booking through third-party platforms?

When booking through platforms like Hirespace, the system blocks additional email addresses from being copied into communications. For planning purposes involving multiple team members, it's better to communicate directly with the venue using personal email addresses rather than through the platform.
