Guest numbers (important)
Private hire closes the venue to the public and dedicates the evening entirely to your group. For this reason, exclusive hire is available for bookings where at least 25 guests will be attending on the night.
If your group may be smaller, we’re happy to consider reserving an area during normal opening hours instead (excluding Friday and Saturday nights).
What’s Included:
Exclusive use of the venue
Fully staffed bar
Bluetooth/playlist control
Cakes & decorations welcome
Pre-order buffet/nibbles (if applicable)
Music
You can connect your phone to our speakers via Bluetooth and have full control of the music. If you have Spotify, we can follow your playlist and play it through our phone if you prefer (a great option if you don’t have Spotify Premium without ads).
Get that awesome party atmosphere by booking one of our fun musicians! Check out our socials to see who suits your vibe and contact them directly for availability and a quote.
We don’t host karaoke due to noise complaints, apologies! Roxy Ballroom across the street offer a great karaoke facility though.
Food
All kinds of celebration cakes and confectionary welcome. We can provide a cake knife and napkins, though we recommend bringing your own cake stand if it needs one.
Our Charcuterie, Cheese Board and Nibbles options are available to preorder to enjoy buffet-style.
If you would like to bring in your own catering we are happy to talk through your options. We do not have any hot-holding equipment or cold storage space. Anything brought in must have clear traceable allergen information and be cooked/prepared/held within legally foodsafe limits. Once food is set up in our venue we will only leave it out for the length of time designated safe by our HACCP Food Safety Plan.
We offer free/low cost hire with the hope that you will buy your food with us. There is therefore a £50 fee for bringing in your own catering, this covers our lost food sales and the additional clearing up.
Kids
No under 18’s past 6pm. This includes babies. No exceptions. Sunday’s 12pm-6pm are great for Baby Showers or Birthdays with a few younger guests.
