What is the minimum spend requirement for exclusive hire of the dining space?

The minimum spend varies by group size and date, ranging from £8,000 to £20,000 inclusive of VAT and exclusive of 12.5% discretionary service charge. For 35 people, the minimum is £8,000, while larger groups of 60+ typically require £10,000-£20,000 depending on the specific date and season.

What are the capacity limits for seated dining versus standing receptions?

The entire venue accommodates up to 70 guests seated or 150 people standing. For groups requiring exclusive hire, you'll need the whole venue which is located on the 9th floor with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the London skyline and terrace access.

What are the venue's operating hours and latest finish times?

The venue is available from 12pm onwards, with events typically starting from 6pm or 7pm. Standard closing time is 11:30pm, though this can be extended to 1am for private events depending on the booking.

What dining options are available for private events?

For groups of 10 or more, you must dine from set menus to maintain quality standards. Options include 3-course set menus at £60 per person, canapés, and bowl food menus. All menus are subject to seasonal changes and the venue will notify you of any modifications prior to your event.

What is the booking process and payment schedule?

To secure your date, you need to pay 50% of the minimum spend upfront as a deposit, with the remaining balance due at least 30 days prior to your event date. The venue does not hold space without a signed contract and deposit payment.

How far in advance must food and drinks be pre-ordered?

All food and drink pre-orders must be confirmed at least 14 days prior to your booking date. The venue encourages pre-ordering bar snacks and drinks with a schedule of when items should be served throughout your event.

Are there any restrictions on bringing external vendors or entertainment?

The venue provides a dedicated waiting team for your event, and all food and drinks are added to your tab which must be settled by the end of the evening. Specific policies on external DJs, entertainment, or other vendors are not detailed in available information.

What happens if my group size is smaller than the minimum spend requirement?

You are still required to meet the full minimum spend even if your actual food and beverage consumption falls short. The minimum spend covers exclusive use of the space and must be met regardless of actual usage.

Can the venue accommodate dietary restrictions and menu modifications?

While set menus are required for groups of 10+, the venue indicates they can work with dietary needs as menus change seasonally. However, specific policies on accommodating allergies, vegetarian, or other dietary requirements are not detailed in available information.

What is included in the venue hire beyond the dining space?

Exclusive hire includes the entire 9th floor venue with floor-to-ceiling windows, terrace access with London skyline views, and a dedicated waiting team. All food and drinks are charged separately and added to your final bill, which must be settled by the end of your event.
