Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum spend required to open 116 Pall Mall for weekend events?
Weekend events require a minimum spend of £15,000 to open the venue, as 116 Pall Mall only operates during weekdays normally. This minimum applies to the total event cost including venue hire, catering, and any additional services.
What are the standard operating hours and what are the charges for extended access?
Standard venue hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm on weekdays. Early access before 8:00am or late access after 5:00pm/11:00pm (depending on space) incurs additional charges of £1,250 + VAT per hour. Events can be extended until 1:00am with these hourly charges applying.
What payment terms and deposit requirements apply to bookings?
A 50% deposit is required within 14 days of signing the contract to secure your booking. The deposit payment deadline can be extended in some cases, such as to the end of September for events the following March. Payment can be made by BACS transfer, over the phone, or via payment link (AMEX not accepted via payment link).
What are the AMEX payment terms and additional charges?
AMEX payments are accepted via PDQ machine over the phone only, not through the online payment link. An additional 5% of the invoice value is charged for each AMEX payment made via the PDQ machine.
How far in advance must contracts be signed and what happens to provisional holds?
Contracts typically need to be signed within a few days to a week of receiving them to secure the space and date. Provisional holds can be given 48-hour deadlines to make decisions. The venue will close off enquiries if no response is received after multiple follow-up attempts.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups in the main event spaces?
The Nash room accommodates 184 cabaret style or 350 standing. The Carlton room holds 120 banquet with reception space, 180 banquet only, or 300 standing. The Waterloo room supports 140 standing, and the venue has additional smaller spaces like St James rooms for 40-60 people each.
What catering restrictions and menu requirements apply to events?
External catering is strictly forbidden at the venue. All catering must be provided by Searcys, the in-house caterers. A choice of one dish from each course is required for the whole party (set menu), with dietary requirements catered for separately. Table plans and name places must be provided on the day of the event.
What are the typical package prices for different types of events?
Christmas dinner packages start from £171 + VAT per person (minimum 120 guests). Standard dinner packages range from £149-£284 + VAT per person depending on inclusions. Reception packages with canapés start around £148 + VAT per person. All packages include venue hire, security, cloakroom, and specified catering and drinks.
What AV equipment and technical services are available?
