The functions guide
Year-end lunches, festive dinners, canapé parties and team treats, from 2 November to 18 December 2026. Here's the whole of it in one place: the rooms and what they cost to have to yourselves, the three ways we usually do it, every menu and extra, and the small print. Pick a package, or build your own at the bottom.
Rooms & minimum spends
The place
Two rooms and the whole place. There's no hire fee — just a minimum spend on food and drink, and under it the difference is charged as venue hire. Daytime is three hours between 7am and 4:30pm; evenings run 6 to 9pm, Thursday to Saturday (Sunday from 3pm). 16 December is out.
