First, consider booking during off-peak times—midweek or lunch hours are often cheaper than Friday or Saturday nights. You can also explore the "minimum spend" venues, where you only pay a minimum amount for food and drink rather than a set hire fee, making it easier to stay within budget. Look for venues that allow partial hire, like Banyan Corn Exchange, which lets you reserve just a section of the restaurant rather than the entire space, perfect for smaller groups. Another insider tip is to ask about last-minute deals—restaurants often offer discounted rates for dates they struggle to fill. Finally, negotiate with the venue manager; many restaurant venues are willing to adjust pricing or offer perks like complimentary drinks or extended hours if you ask.
