Q: What on earth is a ‘minimum spend’?A: The minimum spending for our venue hire varies depending on the time of year and day of the week. For example, a Monday in January will be a much lower spend than the Saturday before Christmas. We can work together to ensure this is always achievable based on usual trade and allows us to cover staffing for your party - we don’t want your Uncle Geoff waiting too long for a beer, do we? The minimum spends also differ depending on how much space you require in the venue.

Q: What is capacity for the first floor only?A: You can entertain anywhere up to 70-80 guests on our first floor - any more than that, and you’re probably looking at the entire venue.
Q: Is your venue free to hire?A: Yes - depending on your party size, we typically agree to a minimum spend. We ensure this is attainable - regardless, contact us for further information or leave us a message. We use a minimum spend which we ensure is achievable based on hire and amount of guests. We can also discuss a fixed hire cost if minimum spend isn't suitable. Lets get organising your party?
