Costs - Free Function Room Hire
The venue is FREE to hire all week with achievable minimum spends that reflect the day of the week. You can choose to take 1 floor or the whole venue. Don't need a full floor? We can book sections for you with no minimum spends, Sunday - Thursday, date depending! We're really flexible, so just reach out for a chat with us and we can talk through options.
Weekends
Minimum Spend = the total amount you and your guests must spend on the occasion - this is made up of all drink & food spend.
Firstly, you are only required to hire part of the venue. Our venue can be sectioned into floors and sections to suit group size.
We don't charge a venue hire cost - we agree on a minimum spend for food and drink by yourself and guests (this is always achievable!). Get in touch, and we will create a package that serves your requirements and your pocket! We can also set a fixed party venue hire cost if a minimum spend is not suitable.
