The minimum spend is £1,600 for events from 6PM-12AM, which includes VAT. A £300 deposit is required to secure your booking, with no additional hire fees. An additional 12.5% service charge will be added to all bills.
How does the minimum spend work and what counts towards it?
All pre-ordered food and drinks plus any spending on the day counts towards your minimum spend. If you opt for a cash bar, the minimum spend can be met through bar sales and your deposit will be refunded the next day if the spend is reached.
