Why rent a space when you can drink, eat, and celebrate your way? Leicester’s minimum spend venues give you the best of both worlds: private dining rooms in areas like the High Street, King’s Street, or Granby Street, where your budget goes straight to food, drinks, and good vibes. Picture yourself clinking glasses in a stylish cocktail lounge or kicking back in a private booth, knowing there’s no extra hire fee hanging over your head. Finding the right spot should be just as easy as raising a toast—Tagvenue makes it happen with quick filters and instant booking options.

Minimum spend venues in Leicester work well for birthday parties, networking events, corporate celebrations, and private dining experiences. Bars and restaurants offering this pricing option often provide a private or semi-private space, making them a flexible option for social gatherings.
If you don't hit the required amount, you'll still have to pay the difference. So, if your minimum spend is £500 but you and your guests only rack up £450, you'll need to cover the extra £50. Best tip? Invite more people or pre-order drinks/food to make sure you use up the budget.
Sometimes. If you're booking on a quieter day (like a Monday or Tuesday), venues might be open to lowering the minimum spend or throwing in extras like free drinks or a welcome platter. It never hurts to ask!
