Host rules

We're unable to accommodate DJs.

We do not accommodate 18th or 21st birthday parties.

We may, at our discretion, accommodate dinner-only gatherings for these occasions, provided the event starts at 7pm and concludes by 9pm, after which guests must continue their celebrations at another venue.

Where under-18s are attending, alcohol may only be served in accordance with UK licensing law. 16- and 17-year-olds may consume beer, wine or cider when accompanied by an adult and only when having a table meal.

We require a minimum ratio of one responsible adult (parent/guardian) for every 10 young adults attending.

The venue reserves the right to refuse or withdraw permission for alcohol consumption where these requirements are not met.

Cancellation policy: Custom
