Venues priced on minimum spend alone do not charge separately for the room – you commit to spending an agreed amount on food and drinks instead. Most Shoreditch bars and pubs on Tagvenue work this way, including Callooh Callay Shoreditch, Barrio Shoreditch, Horse and Groom, The Cornershop Bar and Angel EC1. Check the listing carefully, because some rooms offer a hire fee and a minimum spend as alternatives on the same date.

Compare the total cost rather than the headline rate alone. Check whether VAT, service charge, security, staffing, cleaning, AV or other mandatory costs apply before booking.
Check the capacity for the layout you actually need, as standing, seated and dining capacities can differ significantly. For example, the Function Room at The Old Street Gallery accommodates 150 standing, 115 theatre-style or 80 for dining.
If you need space for a DJ, dance floor, buffet or other event setup, factor this into your capacity requirements before booking.
