How does Bounce Farringdon's pricing structure work and what are the minimum spend requirements?

Bounce operates on a minimum spend basis with no venue hire fee - all costs go towards food, drinks, and activities. Minimum spends vary by space and day: The Vault ranges from £8,000-£9,000 plus 12.5% service charge, The Jaques Room is £6,500 plus 12.5% service charge, and The Playground is £17,500 including VAT plus 12.5% service charge. Saturday events cost significantly more than weekday bookings.

What spaces are available for private events and what are their capacities?

Bounce Farringdon offers several private spaces: The Vault (up to 100 standing guests with 3 ping pong tables and 2 Ping Pong X tables), The Jaques Room (up to 100 standing guests with 3 ping pong tables, 1 beer pong table, karaoke, and private bar), and The Playground (up to 200 guests with 5 ping pong tables, 5 Ping Pong X tables, and 1 beer pong table - this is a half-venue hire option). The venue can accommodate up to 450 guests total across all spaces.

How can the minimum spend be allocated between food, drinks, and activities?

The minimum spend can be fully converted into your choice of food, drinks, and activity costs. You can allocate specific amounts towards food pre-orders (sharing style, not buffet), with the remainder going towards a bar tab on the day. Bounce offers bespoke food and drinks pre-orders from their a la carte menu, and any unused minimum spend can be applied as credit towards drinks during your event.

What food and beverage packages are available for corporate events?

Bounce offers structured packages including a Gold Package at £78 per person (glass of Prosecco, 3 house drinks, sharing bites, unlimited pizza, Games Guru) and Bronze Package at £38 per person (2 house drinks, 1 pizza per person). They also provide Day Delegate Rates at £59 per person including arrival breakfast, grazing lunch, 2 snack breaks, and unlimited beverages. All packages are subject to 12.5% service charge.

What activities and entertainment options are included in bookings?

All private spaces include dedicated ping pong tables, with some featuring Ping Pong X (AI-powered interactive tables), beer pong, and karaoke facilities depending on the room. Games Gurus can be hired at £5 plus VAT per person to run activities and tournaments with prizes. The venue features 21 activity tables total, UV lighting, plasma TV screens, and a cocktail bar for entertainment.

What AV equipment and technical facilities are provided?

The venue includes wireless microphones, a cinematic projector screen, plasma TV screens, HDMI connections, stadium-grade lighting that can be adjusted to match company logo colors, and 2 additional TV screens in bar areas for company branding. For advanced requirements like live streaming or hybrid events, their partner company F1 Sound can provide additional technical solutions at extra cost.

Are there any day-of-week restrictions or pricing differences?

Saturday bookings cost significantly more than weekday events and may exceed typical budgets. Weekday bookings, particularly Tuesday and Wednesday, offer the most competitive pricing. Some quotes mention that activity costs may be waived for events finishing by 5pm on Tuesday or Wednesday, making midweek bookings particularly cost-effective for corporate events.
