What is the capacity and pricing structure for the Business space?

The Business space (also called Tasting Room) accommodates up to 12 guests for private meetings and dinners. The space is available at £100 per person including VAT, which covers the private hire, plasma screen, Wi-Fi access, flipchart on request, Searcys branded notepad and pencil, and bottled still and sparkling water replenished throughout the day.

What are the booking requirements and payment terms?

Based on other Searcys spaces, you typically need to provide 50% of the minimum spend plus a signed contract to secure the booking. The remainder is required at least 30 days prior to the event taking place, though specific terms for the Business space should be confirmed directly with the venue.

What equipment and facilities are included in the space?

The Business space includes a wall-mounted plasma screen, Wi-Fi access, flipchart available on request, Searcys branded notepads and pencils, and bottled still and sparkling water replenished throughout the day. The room features plenty of natural light and views of the station architecture.

What are the typical event timings and duration limits?

Events in the Business space can run during daytime hours, with one example showing availability from 09:30am to 3pm. Specific timing restrictions and maximum duration limits should be confirmed when booking as these may vary based on the venue's restaurant operations.

Is there a service charge and does it count toward minimum spend?

A 13% discretionary service charge applies to the final bill at all Searcys venues. This service charge does not contribute toward any minimum spend requirements, so it's an additional cost on top of your food and beverage spending.

What catering options are available for private dining events?

Searcys offers seasonally inspired menus using fresh British produce. Menu prices start from £50 per person for the Classic 3-course menu, with options to upgrade to Soirée or Deluxe menus. All menus are subject to seasonal changes and can accommodate dietary requirements including allergies.

Are there any restrictions on music, entertainment, or external suppliers?

The venue can accommodate external entertainment suppliers, though this would be charged separately once agreed with the suppliers. Music restrictions may apply depending on the space and timing to avoid interference with regular restaurant service, so specific entertainment plans should be discussed during booking.

What is the cancellation policy and flexibility for changes?

Specific cancellation policies for the Business space are not detailed in available information. Given the advance payment requirements (50% upfront, remainder 30 days prior), you should confirm cancellation terms, change policies, and any associated fees when signing the contract.

Is the space suitable for presentations and business meetings?

Yes, the Business space is specifically designed for private meetings with a wall-mounted plasma screen, flipchart available on request, natural light, and branded stationery provided. The room offers views of the station architecture while maintaining privacy for business discussions.

What is the location and accessibility for guests?

The Business space is located above St Pancras International Station at Kings Cross, providing excellent accessibility for guests traveling from within London or further afield. The location is particularly convenient for meeting international clients arriving directly into St Pancras station.
