- Any function involving an 18th/19th/20th or 21st Birthday must have a significant number of adults attending the function on the night (minimum of 10 adults) bar staff are also instructed to ask for ID any person they believe to look under 18. No ID = No alcohol!! |

- If you decide to bring your own food/buffet to the event there will be a £25 surcharge added to the room hire from 2007. So therefore the upstairs Premier Bar suite will cost £125 and the downstairs function suite will cost £175. There is no charge for bringing your own DJ/entertainment. |

|
|
- Something that is questioned a lot is `what time can we come in and decorate?` or `can we bring the food in the afternoon?` please remember you book the function room from 7 – 1 ; you could either tell your guests to arrive from 8pm and bring your buffet or your decorations/entertainment in from 7 or alternatively there is a £10 charge per hour to come in early say 6pm this is because we need to bring staff in earlier for security purposes. |
|
|
