Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pricing options for karaoke room hire?
The karaoke room hire is £25 per person for a 2-hour duration. For larger groups, flat rate pricing may be available - for example, a group of 21 people was offered a flat rate of £400 instead of the per-person rate. The venue has over 10,000 songs available including international selections.
What are the minimum spend requirements for exclusive venue hire?
For exclusive use of the Main Restaurant + Bar (150 guests, 6PM-12AM), the minimum spend is £21,600 towards food and beverages. For evening events from 5PM-12AM, minimum spends of £20,000 including VAT have been quoted for 200+ guests. A 12.5% service charge is applied on top of all minimum spends.
What food and drink pricing should I expect?
Cocktails start from £11.00, mocktails from £9.95, wine bottles from £27.00, beer cans from £4.95, and pints from £6.75. Canapés are available from £3.00 per item and bowl food from £5.00 per bowl. All prices are subject to 20% VAT and 12.5% service charge.
Can I book semi-private areas without full venue hire?
Yes, the foosball area in the main restaurant can be reserved from 11PM-1AM with a £10 per person deposit that can be used towards beverages. The couches by the fireplace operate on a first-come, first-serve basis as they're in the communal hotel area and cannot be reserved.
What spaces are available for private events?
The venue offers karaoke rooms for smaller groups, the Garden Bar for hire until midnight, the Main Restaurant + Bar for exclusive use, and the foosball area for semi-private bookings. The Garden Bar hire can be complimentary when combined with minimum spend requirements.
What entertainment and AV equipment is included?
Karaoke rooms come with over 10,000 songs and can accommodate custom playlists including YouTube access for specific music requests. The events space includes arcade machines, projector, LED screen, Bose speakers, and Click and Share technology. A pop-up bar can be set up within event spaces.
How far in advance do I need to confirm my booking?
For certain bookings, confirmation is required by 12PM the following day after receiving the quote. The venue appears to accommodate last-minute bookings, with some quotes provided for events happening the next day, but advance booking is recommended for availability.
What are the operating hours for private events?
Events can run until midnight as standard, with the Garden Bar available until midnight and restaurant spaces typically closing at 12AM. Late-night options like the foosball area are available from 11PM-1AM. Extended hours may be possible but would require specific arrangement.
Are there any restrictions on music or entertainment?
The venue is flexible with music options, allowing custom playlists and YouTube access for specific songs in karaoke rooms. The space includes professional sound equipment with Bose speakers, and background music can be arranged at appropriate volumes for networking events.
What deposit and payment terms apply?
For semi-private areas like the foosball space, a £10 per person deposit is required and must be pre-paid, which can then be used towards beverages. For larger events with minimum spends, specific payment terms would be arranged based on the booking size and requirements.
