Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pricing options for private dining events in the Dining space?
Dinner packages start from £124+VAT per person for 30 guests, including 1 glass of prosecco on arrival, 3-course dinner, and ½ bottle of house wine plus ½ bottle of mineral water per person. For larger groups of 60 people, dinner packages are available from £170+VAT per person including venue hire of London Bridge Arches from 6pm to 11pm, prosecco on arrival, 3-course dinner, and wine/water. Security is mandatory at £198.50+VAT for all dinner events.
What are the capacity limits and space options for private dining?
The venue offers multiple dining spaces depending on group size. For 30 people, both the Bridge Room and River Room are available, with the River Room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and views from St Paul's to the City. For larger groups up to 120 people, the London Bridge Arches can accommodate standing receptions, while the venue can host up to 400 guests across all spaces when used in conjunction.
Is there a refundable deposit required for private parties?
Yes, private parties require a refundable deposit of £5,000+VAT. This deposit is separate from the event costs and catering packages. The deposit requirement applies specifically to private party bookings as opposed to corporate events.
What catering options are available beyond the standard dinner packages?
The venue partners with London's finest event caterers including Life's Kitchen, KERB and Bubble to offer various catering styles depending on your event theme. Standard packages include 3-course dinners, but the venue can accommodate different catering arrangements through their approved supplier network. External catering arrangements would need to be discussed and approved through the venue's supplier briefing process.
What are the venue hire costs if I want to arrange my own catering?
The Bridge Room can be hired at £3,500+VAT per day for dry hire arrangements. For events requiring security (such as evening events on certain dates), an additional £198.50+VAT security fee applies. The London Bridge Arches has different pricing structures, and the venue offers various room combinations depending on your specific requirements and guest numbers.
What entertainment and AV facilities are included in the Dining space?
The space includes a PA system suitable for background music and speeches, plus a microphone for announcements. However, for DJ services or live music, external suppliers must bring their full equipment as the in-house PA system is designed for conference use rather than music entertainment. All external suppliers must provide RAMS, PAT testing, PLI certificates, and sign a supplier briefing form.
Are there minimum spend requirements for certain dates?
Yes, the venue has minimum revenue requirements that vary by date. For example, December dates have a minimum revenue requirement of £12,500+VAT. Christmas packages for 80 people start at £199+VAT per person and include venue hire, festive reception, three-course menu, wine, entertainment, and full event management. Specific minimum spends should be confirmed when enquiring about your preferred date.
What additional services are included in dinner packages?
Dinner packages typically include full event management and staffing, manned cloakroom facilities, and SIA accredited security. The venue provides table linens (standard black included, with options for upgraded colors like navy at additional cost), and can arrange additional services like coat rail management, projection equipment for presentations, and various entertainment options through their supplier network.
How far in advance do I need to book and what is the booking process?
The venue operates on a joint 1st option system, meaning spaces are held for multiple enquirers until contracts are signed. Once you express serious interest, the venue will send a contract, and the space becomes available on 2nd option for other clients until your contract is returned. Popular dates book quickly, so early enquiry is recommended, especially for Christmas parties and weekend events.
What are the access times and setup arrangements for dinner events?
Most dinner events include access from 6pm to 11pm or 6pm to 12am depending on the package. For events requiring additional setup time or extended hours, this can be arranged but may incur additional costs. The venue can accommodate earlier access for decoration setup or extended hours for dancing and entertainment, with pricing adjusted accordingly.
