    If you’re booking for a Friday or Saturday evening, the space is yours for the night until last orders.

    Due to these being our busiest evenings, we ask for a buffet booking for a minimum of 60 guests.

    That covers your room hire too.

  • We don’t allow outside catering or food to be brought in.

    That’s why we’ve rolled room hire into the buffet pricing — simple, all-in-one, and prepared by our team.

    Instead, we’ll securely take your card details when you book. If you don’t turn up on the day, a £5 per person no-show fee will be charged.
