Minimum numbers typically apply, such as 130 guests for certain packages, and an AV technician is mandatory at £500 excluding VAT.

What are the capacity limits for dining spaces and seating arrangements?

The Member's Room accommodates up to 28 guests in boardroom style, while larger dining spaces can handle 100-150 guests for seated dinners. Round table setups are available for various group sizes, with cabaret-style seating options for events requiring both dining and presentation elements.

What are the available time slots and access hours for dining events?

Dining events typically run from 18:00-23:00 for evening functions, with host access available from 17:00. Some events can accommodate extended hours, and setup time is usually included in the booking period.

One Moorgate Place offers in-house catering with set menus for private dining, including 3-course seated dinners, canapés, and wine packages. Current menus are provided during the booking process, and the venue appears to operate primarily with their own catering services rather than external providers.

What AV equipment is included and what are the additional costs?

Standard AV setup is included in dining packages, featuring presentation screens and basic equipment. However, an AV technician is mandatory at £500 excluding VAT for events requiring technical support, and video conferencing packages are available as add-ons.

What is the booking process and what documentation is required?

To proceed with booking, you need to provide full company name, billing address, contract signatory details, and proof of public liability insurance. Contracts are issued via DocuSign, invoices are sent after contract signing, and the operations team is introduced for final event details.

The venue requires proof of public liability insurance as a mandatory condition for hosting events. Specific timing requirements may apply, and some spaces have minimum guest numbers for certain packages, such as 80 guests minimum for drinks reception packages.

What additional services and amenities are included with dining bookings?

Dining packages typically include cloakroom facilities, event management, printed menus, table centerpieces, standard table linen, unlimited mineral water, and tea/coffee service. WiFi access and delegate stationery may also be provided depending on the package selected.
