BOOKING PROCESS

We’d love the opportunity to show you the space! The onsite team are very friendly and would be happy to show you around.

Monday - Wednesday evenings or weekend early afternoons between 12-1pm are typically better for a viewing, please let your booking manager know you’d like to stop by and we can check availability and add a note to the diary.

We look forward to welcoming you and hearing your thoughts on the space!

In the lead-up to your event, our dedicated central events team will be your main point of contact. With over 35 years of combined experience across our venues, we know our spaces inside and out and are here to ensure every detail is taken care of, making your event run seamlessly from start to finish.
Yes, there will always be a fully briefed shift manager on-site during your event. Before the day, our events team will hand over your booking to the venue managers, and you’ll be introduced in advance so you know exactly who to contact on the day.

FOOD
& DRINK

Yes, all food and drink pre-orders and bar tabs will count towards the minimum, alongside anything purchased by your guests on the day of your event.
For a light bite, we recommend ¼ board per guest.
For a main course replacement, we recommend ½ board per guest.
For a full three course replacement, we recommend ¾-1 board per guest.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a dedicated Kosher menu, it would be the vegetarian and vegan options available. You’re more than welcome to bring in external catering to accommodate Kosher requirements, sushi or anything else you fancy!
Absolutely, all our menus include options that cover allergens and dietary requirements, we can use labels for any finger food items or cater for guests with an individually plated dish for any sit-down feasting meals.
Unfortunately due to the size of our kitchen we are unable to do set menus, however with our feasting menu everyone has their own plate, and we serve the food and large vintage wooden sharing boards for guests to pick their own. Usually, people try a little of everything and the feasting meal we find to be a little more exciting and engaging.

It also helps to make service on the day much smoother, rather than people waiting for their plate of food to come out watching everyone else be served, the feasting menu is much quicker to serve so everyone gets food at the same time and its piping hot fresh from the oven.
All our menus have been designed and costed by our chefs to ensure quality and consistency, sadly because of this reason we are unable to offer bespoke menu items.
Our events food menus are pre-order only, however we do stock ingredients for certain items so the chef may be able to accommodate certain extras on the day. We are also able to offer any small plates, sides and nibbles from our a la carte menu on the evening.
Yes absolutely, please view our menus page or the food & drinks tab on our events page to review the packages available.
Our drinks packages are discounted for bulk orders, so we’re unable to offer sale or return on whole cases that have been pre-ordered. However, any unopened wine or beer from your package is yours to take home and enjoy after the event!
Of course! Just let your events manager know for how much and any restrictions you may wish to run the tab with, and we can add this to your booking.
As we have fully licensed bars on both floors, we do not permit external alcohol. However, in certain cases, we may allow corkage for one drink per guest if it is a special product not available at our venues. Please speak with your events manager for more details on corkage fees.

ENTERTAINMENT
& DECORATIONS

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to decorate and personalise your booked space.
We just do not allow glitter, confetti or streamers (including balloons containing these), these will be removed from the room if they are bought into the venue.
For private hire, it’s no problem to host a DJ and they can simply plug and play via our XLR inputs at the venue. Please check what equipment is available for any DJs to use (I.e decks/mixer) at the venue. You are welcome to have DJ or a playlist right until the end of your booking time, and the volume does go nice and loud.
For whole venue hire, it’s no problem to host live music. We do allow bands, but we have a few rules on this:

-There must be no percussion or brass instruments, (unless electric drums can run through our PA system OR the acoustic drums can use hot rods to reduce noise output).

-They must play through our built in PA system if they require sound to be amplified or via 2 x external top speakers as mentioned above.

-Bands must be finished playing by 10:30pm.

I know this sounds like a lot of rules however it is to ensure we keep within our license restrictions.

OTHER PRACTICALITIES

Yes, there is on-street parking available nearby. The area is within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), where on-street parking is subject to permit restrictions during certain hours. Outside of these hours, parking may be available for non-permit holders. Additionally, there are pay-and-display parking spaces in the area, allowing for short-term parking.
Please be aware that certain streets are reserved exclusively for permit holders, so it's important to check parking signs for the specific rules and restrictions. For a more secure option, there are also several NCP car parks nearby.
For full venue hire, children are permitted to attend at your discretion as long as they are fully supervised. For group or private hire please discuss your requirements with your booking manager and they can provide more information.
Absolutely! We love dogs and welcome them at the venue. Please feel free to bring your furry friends, but do keep in mind that if the venue is near capacity, it can feel a bit busy.
While we don’t have a dedicated cloakroom, we do provide coat rails and hangers, and we can set up a designated area for bags to ensure your guests have a convenient place to store their belongings.
