Frequently asked questions
What are the payment terms and when are deposits due?
Payment is split into two installments: 50% is required upon signing the contract, and the remaining 50% must be paid 30 days before your event. All catering costs for food and beverages must be pre-ordered and settled before the event to cover staffing costs.
Can I bring my own caterer or do I have to use the in-house team?
The venue prefers all catering to be provided by their in-house team, Blue Strawberry. If you want to bring an outside caterer, there is a mandatory £3,000 kitchen buyout fee, which may not be cost-effective for smaller events.
What are the room hire rates for meetings and small events?
The Chairman's Room (22 capacity) is priced at £200 per hour plus VAT, suitable for groups of 15-18 people. Meeting room bookings can be made through their app at app.knotel.com where you can view availability and select suitable times.
Does the venue have step-free access and accessible facilities?
Yes, the Dining Room has lift access directly from street level and accessible toilets. This makes the venue fully accessible for guests with mobility requirements.
What security arrangements are provided for events?
The venue provides security staff during events and can arrange signage to direct guests to your specific room or area. Security staff can also check people in when they enter the building to ensure proper event management.
Can multiple events run simultaneously at the venue?
Yes, the venue can host multiple events concurrently in different spaces. For example, events can run in the Dining Room while other functions take place in the Great Room and Bar, with proper signage and staff direction to manage guest flow.
What catering packages and pricing are available?
Blue Strawberry provides in-house catering with various packages including breakfast options, meeting room packages, welcome drinks, canapes, and food stations. Specific pricing varies by group size and requirements - contact the catering team directly for detailed quotes.
How do I book meeting rooms and what's included?
Meeting rooms are booked through the Knotel app at app.knotel.com where you can select dates, times, and view real-time availability. Rooms include basic AV equipment, and additional catering can be arranged through Blue Strawberry for an extra cost.
What are the typical event timings and finish times?
Events typically finish by 9pm for smaller functions, though the venue can accommodate events running until 11:30pm depending on the space and type of event. Specific timing restrictions may apply based on the room booked and concurrent events.
What spaces are available for different group sizes?
The Chairman's Room accommodates up to 22 people and is ideal for groups of 15-18. The Dining Room is suitable for larger corporate events and offers round tables for group discussions, with lift access and outdoor space available for breaks.
