A private dining room will allow you to customise the experience to fit your needs. For example, if you are hosting a private occasion such as a birthday or wedding reception, you could request a bespoke menu, as well as bring in entertainers and decorate the room if needed. If you are holding a professional event, you can search for a private dining room equipped with audiovisual and multimedia equipment. 

Private dining rooms are often hired according to the minimum spend model. This entails agreeing on a minimum amount that you will pay for food and drink. If your event does not reach that amount, you will be required to settle any outstanding costs directly. Another popular pricing model is straight room hire - a flat fee for the use of the room for a set period. You may also be charged on a per person basis. Make sure to check a variety of days and times when making your booking, prices often drop during off-peak hours.
