What are the minimum spend requirements for different areas and when do they apply?

The Courtyard requires a £500 minimum spend plus 12.5% service charge for groups up to 50 people. The Lounge (semi-private area) requires a £400 minimum spend plus 12.5% service charge for up to 50 people. Full venue hire minimum spends vary significantly by date: £2,000 for some periods, £5,000-£7,000 for weekends, £16,000-£25,000 for December dates. All minimum spends include both preorders and anything spent on the night.

How much deposit is required and when must it be paid?

A deposit of 25% of the minimum spend is required to confirm your booking. The deposit must be paid at least two weeks prior to the event date, or Lucy Wong reserves the right to cancel the provisional booking. All deposits are non-refundable but are redeemable against your final bill on the night.

What are the capacity limits and operating hours for each space?

The Courtyard accommodates up to 50 people and is covered with heaters, open until 11pm. The Lounge (semi-private area) also holds up to 50 people with comfortable sofas and armchairs. For full venue hire, the space can accommodate larger groups and stays open until 2am or 3am, though the Courtyard still closes at 11pm.

What are the cancellation and change policies?

Cancellations require at least 4 weeks' notice, and changes require 48 hours' notice. If you cancel after the 4-week deadline or don't show up, the full deposit is retained. The venue holds your reserved area for a maximum of 30 minutes - if you don't arrive or make contact within this time, it's treated as a no-show and the deposit is forfeited.

How does preordering work and when must it be paid?

All preorders must be placed and paid for one week before your booking date. Preorders include canapés (£245 for 10 trays of 6 options each), cocktail vouchers (£13 per voucher), and drink packages. Preorder amounts count toward your minimum spend requirement, and a 12.5% service charge applies to all preorders.

What are the pricing details for canapés and drinks?

Canapés cost £245 for 10 trays with 6 different options (including items like pork bai bbq, prawn dumplings, veg spring rolls). Cocktail vouchers are £13 each. The venue offers various drink packages, and there's currently a promotion offering complimentary fizz reception if you confirm booking by August 31st for certain dates.

What's included with full venue hire and what are the restrictions?

Full venue hire includes the entire venue plus Courtyard, complimentary cloakroom service, guestlist management, and the ability to play your own music via DJ, playlist, or live act. The venue stays open until 2am-3am, but the Courtyard closes at 11pm. You have exclusive use of the space with no other bookings.

Are there any non-refundable costs or items I should be aware of?

There are no refunds for drinks not consumed, attendance numbers being lower than predicted, unused drinks vouchers, bar tabs that don't reach their limit, minimum spends not reached, or guests asked to leave for intoxication or antisocial behavior. All deposits and minimum spend pre-payments are non-refundable but count toward your final bill.
