What are the minimum spend requirements and deposit for The Lounge dining space?

The Lounge requires a minimum spend of £1,000-£1,600 for 6PM-12AM bookings (pricing varies by date). A £300 deposit is required to secure your booking, which is refunded the next day if you opt for a cash bar and reach the minimum spend. All minimum spends are inclusive of VAT, with an additional 12.5% service charge added to all bills.

What dining packages are available and how much do they cost?

Three main options: Bottomless Brunch at £60pp includes 3 courses with 2 hours unlimited selected beers and Prosecco. Set Menu at £35pp for 3 courses, or upgrade to Bubbles package for £50pp (includes arrival Prosecco, 3 courses, and half bottle of wine per person). Party Food Menu features canapés, bowl food, and kebabitos (mini kebabs) with canapés and kebabitos tray-served and bowl food laid out on tables.

How does payment work and when is final payment due?

A £300 deposit secures your booking, with final payments accepted via invoice or on the event night. For larger late-night bookings, card authentication (verification only, not charged) is required seven days prior to your event. Pre-ordered food, drinks, and all on-the-day spending count toward your minimum spend requirement.

What are the age restrictions and ID requirements?

All guests consuming alcohol must be 18+ with valid ID, and Le Bab operates a Check 25 policy across all venues. You must inform them at booking time if underage guests will attend your event. Failure to notify about underage attendees may result in event cancellation and deposit forfeiture.

Can I increase capacity beyond The Lounge's standard limit?

Yes, you can add the Kebab Queen cocktail bar space to increase capacity up to 200 guests. This would likely affect minimum spend requirements, though specific pricing for the combined spaces varies and should be confirmed when booking.

Are there any restrictions on bringing external vendors or entertainment?

The venue can accommodate DJs, curated cocktail menus, live music, and photo booths as mentioned in their offerings. However, specific policies on external vendors, equipment setup requirements, or restrictions on outside entertainment are not detailed in the available information and should be confirmed directly with the venue.

When are menus finalized and can dietary requirements be accommodated?

Menus and pricing may see minor changes, with final menus confirmed one month prior to your event. The venue states they can accommodate all dietary requirements, including halal options, but you must inform them of specific needs at the time of pre-ordering.

What discount is available for pre-ordered drinks?

Le Bab offers a 20% pre-order discount on drinks from their Party Drinks menu for welcome drinks. You'll also have access to a private bar, though specific details about the full drinks menu and pricing are not provided in the available information.

Are timings flexible and what are the standard operating hours?

Timings are flexible according to the venue, with standard quoted times of 6PM-12AM for most bookings. Some quotes mention 8:30PM-2AM options, suggesting later finish times are possible. The specific flexibility and any additional costs for extended hours should be confirmed when booking.

Can I arrange a venue viewing before confirming my booking?

Yes, venue viewings can be arranged with their site manager. The venue manager can be contacted via WhatsApp at 07581787422 for venue videos or to arrange an in-person visit before paying the deposit.
