The venue policy doesn't allow for guests under the age of 18 after 7.30pm.

All guests attending private functions must bring a VALID form of ID and we reserve the right to ask for proof of ID upon entry.

It is against the law to drink alcohol on licensed premises under 18.

If anyone under the age of 18 attempts to buy alcohol or is found consuming alcohol on the premises, we will have to ask them to leave the party and if it happens too often we will consider closing the bar for the sale of alcohol.

On arrival, each guest should inform the door steward, or member of staff, of the group-booking name, so that they can be shown to their area.

Management reserve the right to refuse admission to the premises, eject guests from the premises and/or terminate the night should guests' behaviour become detrimental to the units licensing conditions and/or staff and property.

No wine, beer, spirits or food may be brought onto the premises by guests for consumption on the premises, unless prior consent of the management has been obtained; for which a charge will be made.

We will ask any guest found or suspected of bringing their own drink onto the premises to leave and if the problem is widespread we may have to consider closing the bar until the issue is resolved.
