What are the minimum spend requirements and deposit for booking the Pop-up space?

The minimum spend varies by time slot: £1,000-£1,600 for 6PM-12AM slots and £2,500-£3,500 for later evening slots (8:30PM-2AM). A £300 deposit is required to secure your booking, with larger events requiring a £1,000 deposit. All minimum spends include VAT, and an additional 12.5% service charge is added to all bills.

How does the payment structure work and when is final payment due?

You pay a deposit to secure the booking, then final payment can be made 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. If you opt for a cash bar, the minimum spend can be met through bar sales and your deposit is refunded the next day if the minimum is reached.

What are the age restrictions and ID requirements for events?

All guests consuming alcohol must be over 18 and present valid ID. Le Bab operates a Check 25 policy across all venues. You must inform them at booking if underage guests will attend, as failure to notify may result in event cancellation and deposit forfeiture.

What pre-order menu options are available and what do they cost?

Three main options: Bottomless Brunch (£60pp for 3 courses with 2 hours unlimited selected beers and Prosecco), Set Menu (£35pp for 3 courses, or £50pp for Bubbles package with Prosecco arrival drink and half bottle wine per person), and Party Food Menu (canapés, bowl food, and mini kebabs served tray-style or buffet). Welcome drinks receive a 20% pre-order discount.

When are menus and pricing confirmed for events?

Menus and pricing may see minor changes and are confirmed one month prior to your event date. This allows for seasonal adjustments and ensures accurate pricing for your final arrangements.

Are the event timings flexible and what time slots are typically available?

Yes, timings are flexible. Common slots include 6PM-12AM and 8:30PM-2AM, but they work with your preferred schedule. The venue can accommodate both earlier dining events and late-night celebrations depending on your needs.

What counts toward the minimum spend requirement?

All pre-ordered food and drinks plus anything spent on the day contributes toward your minimum spend total. This includes bar sales if you opt for a cash bar arrangement, making it easier to reach the required amount through guest purchases.

Can I arrange a venue viewing before confirming my booking?

Yes, venue viewings can be arranged with the site manager. You can contact them directly or arrange through the events team, and they accommodate viewings even for clients booking from overseas through representatives.

What entertainment and music options are available for events?

You can bring your own DJ and entertainment, play your own music, and customize with curated cocktail menus, live music, and photo booths. The space offers flexible layouts to accommodate dance floors and entertainment setups.

Are there different pricing tiers for different event sizes or types?

Yes, pricing varies significantly by event size. Smaller events (40-80 guests) typically see £1,000-£2,500 minimum spends, while larger events (100+ guests) can have minimum spends of £4,000-£6,000 with correspondingly higher deposits of £1,000.
