When picking the perfect private dining room in Liverpool, it’s always good to have the following things in mind:

• The variety of food and drinks – Do any of your guests have special dietary requirements? If you’re going to need halal, kosher or vegan fare, remember to ask the restaurant’s event manager whether they are able to meet your needs or not.
• The style of your event – If you’re organising a family gathering, make sure the private dining room you’ve picked is child-friendly and easily accessible to all the guests. If it’s a boozy dinner with work colleagues, remember to check the details of the venue’s alcohol licence.
• The seating layout – A long boardroom-style table usually works best for small private dining events. If you’re throwing a bigger feast, you might want to go with several small tables.
• Possible additional costs – Some private dining venues in Liverpool charge additional fees, such as corkage. It’s always better to avoid surprises and ask about these in advance.

The costs may vary depending on different factors, but you can use these estimates as a reference:

• The vast majority of private dining rooms in Liverpool is priced with a minimum spend. This option means you need to pay a set amount for the food and drinks so you can use the space for your private dinner absolutely for free!

• Another quite common private dining option is the package per person. The prices for these start at as low as £20 per guest and usually cover the costs of both the dining experience and using the venue.
• Although it’s less common for private dining venues in Liverpool, you still might stumble upon spaces priced with a hire fee, which includes the costs of using the venue only.

The hire fee costs in Liverpool typically range between £170 and £700, depending mostly on the location of the venue and the time of your event.
