Yes! Instead of paying a fixed hire fee, you're putting your budget towards food and drinks—which you'd likely be buying anyway. Minimum spend venues let you secure an amazing space without upfront costs if you're hosting a party, corporate event, or special celebration. Just make sure you have enough guests to comfortably meet the spending requirement.
If you want a casual but stylish spot, check out places like Be At One Bath (£1,000 per session). If you're looking for something a bit different, Ludo Bath has a £200 minimum spend per afternoon, making it a solid choice for smaller events.
Short answer: you still have to pay the difference. If your venue has a £1,000 minimum spend and your guests only rack up £800, you'll need to cover the remaining £200. So, it's a good idea to plan ahead and maybe pre-order drinks or food to make sure you meet the spend.
Komedia has different room sizes, with minimum spends ranging from £2,500 to £5,000 per session. Field Good Bar is another option, with space for up to 350 guests and a £9,500 minimum spend per session. This is a great choice if you're planning a wedding or birthday party on a grander scale.
