Costs - Free Hire
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.

Party Venue - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to hire the whole venue?
A: Absolutely not! Our venue can host both smaller and larger parties. Our venue is highly adaptable. Regardless of your party size requirements, contact us, and we can help advise!
Q: Can I provide my own entertainment?
A: Of course! We have a brilliant sound system in which your entertainment can easily connect, whether a DJ or a live singer! We are happy to assist with any questions your entertainment may have about our technical sound system for your party.
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: I’ve got too many mates and a large family, what is your capacity?
A: Well done you! We have 154 seats - we wouldn’t advise many more than this for a full venue hire.
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?
Q: Is your venue suitable for smaller parties?
A: Yep! Our venue can be sectioned off into numerous sections. We can accommodate all party sizes, from 10-150 people! Larger parties can be accommodated too. Lets get in contact and make arrangements.
Q: Can we provide our own food?
A: You are more than welcome to provide food. We do provide a buffet option in-house and can host independent pop-up vendors so you can tailor your event to any occasion. We can ensure it is laid out to your requirements.
Q: Can we decorate the venue?
A: Our customers generally come in before the party to decorate the venue to their requirements. We can also alter the lighting in the entire venue/sections to your required colours, brightness etc.
Q: Can we use the televisions/projector?
A: Yes - feel free to send in any photos/videos and we can project them throughout your party.
