What are the minimum spend requirements for different days of the week?
The venue operates with minimum food and beverage spends that vary by day: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday offer the best rates, while Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have significantly higher minimums due to The London Cabaret Club shows. For example, Saturday requires a minimum spend of £35,000 + VAT on F&B, while weekday rates start from £12,500 + VAT for Tuesday.
What is the capacity for different event layouts in the Business space?
The Ballroom can accommodate up to 500 guests standing, 300 guests seated banquet style, or 350 guests in theatre style. The Rose Bar can host 250 guests for standing receptions and can be used for exhibitions, seated dinners, or transformed into a dance floor.
What are the venue hire charges in addition to minimum spend?
Beyond the minimum F&B spend, there are additional venue hire charges starting from £5,000 + VAT. This includes AV technician, security, cloakroom, and furniture for up to 6 hours of live event time. The in-house AV system (normally £2,500 + VAT) is included complimentary with venue hire.
What AV equipment is included with the venue?
The Ballroom includes a comprehensive AV system with 6 projector walls, microphones, remote clicker, stage, multiple light settings, uplighters, and sound system. An AV technician is included with venue hire, and the system is normally valued at £2,500 + VAT but provided complimentary.
What are the dry hire rates for events not requiring catering?
Dry hire rates start from £9,000 + VAT plus additional charges. For premium days like Friday when The London Cabaret Club show would need to be cancelled, dry hire costs £21,000 + VAT. A 3-day dry hire package is available for £22,000 + VAT including exclusive use of Ballroom, Rose Bar, Long Bar, and Kitchen.
What are the access times and late finish charges?
Standard access time is 10AM, with earlier access available for £500 + VAT per day. Events can run until 12AM as standard, with extensions available for additional charges. Late finishes until 2AM incur an extra charge of £1,500 + VAT.
How does The London Cabaret Club affect availability and pricing?
The venue is home to The London Cabaret Club, which runs shows on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. This significantly increases pricing on these days as the show would need to be cancelled for private events. The best rates and availability are offered on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
What is the booking hold policy and payment timeline?
Space is not held without confirmation, and if there's no response within one week of enquiry, the venue will release the space assuming the client no longer requires it. The venue requires prompt responses to secure dates and will actively follow up on pending enquiries.
What catering options and pricing are available?
Three-course meals start from £64 + VAT per person, with packages from £110 + VAT including welcome bubbly, three courses, half bottle of wine and water. Traditional finger buffet lunch starts from £26.90 + VAT per person, and coffee/tea with biscuits is £5.50 + VAT per person.
What drinks packages and bar options are offered?

What entertainment and additional services are available?

Are there any restrictions on event types or external suppliers?
The venue accommodates various event types including casino-style setups with external suppliers providing tables and croupiers. However, specific restrictions aren't detailed in available information, so clients should confirm any special requirements or external vendor policies directly with the events team.
