Can I bring my own catering or do I need to use preferred suppliers?

What branding and customisation options are available?

The venue is highly flexible for branding - you can add signage, decorations, or wall branding to suit your brief. The large shopfront windows can be vinyled for custom branding, and they have a trusted supplier (KGK Genix) who can assist with this. You can also utilise the white interior for a minimal, clean look.

What furniture is included and can additional items be sourced?

Included furniture comprises bistro tables, RGB light-up poseur tables, bar stools, trestle tables, square poseur tables, cube benches, white fold-out chairs, and a lectern. Additional or bespoke furniture can be hired at extra cost, which they can arrange through their preferred suppliers.
