TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
SHARED PARTY NIGHTS

All prices are shown both exclusive and inclusive of VAT. Any price shown to be inclusive of VAT is calculated at the rate of 20% and is subject to change should the prevailing VAT rate change.

A booking will only be accepted and confirmed by us on receipt of the relevant payment. When we receive your relevant payment this constitutes acceptance of your booking. These terms and conditions will become binding on you and us with our confirmation of receipt of your payment.

A booking will consist of an agreed number of tickets. One ticket will admit one guest to a shared party event.

If your numbers increase and you require more tickets after your initial booking, we will do everything possible to accommodate your additional ticket requests. This will be subject to availability and at our discretion.

Any changes made to a confirmed booking will need the permission of the party organiser.

The deadline for making any changes to your booking:

Menu choices – all menu choices to be given a minimum 21 days in advance of the event.

Table drinks pre-orders – can be purchased up until 48 hrs before the event.

The final balance for your booking must be received by us at 6 weeks prior to the Event. Non-payment of the final balance by the date due may result in cancellation of the booking, and subject to cancellation charges.

Any deposits paid are non-refundable and non-transferable in any circumstance.

Cancellations of all or part of the booking can only be made by the party organiser and must be made in writing, either by email or post. We cannot accept cancellations over the telephone.

Any full or partial cancellations made within 42 days are liable for 100% cancellation charges regardless of whether we are in receipt of funds or not.

Cancellation charges and refunds will be calculated as follows:

If the booking is cancelled more than 42 days prior to your Event date, we will refund 100% of the ticket price, less the deposit.

If the booking is cancelled more than 21 days but less than 42 days prior to your Event date we will refund 75% of the ticket price, less the deposit.

If the booking is cancelled 21 days or less prior to your Event date no refund will be given.

We may cancel a booking, or alternatively arrange for the booking to be transferred to another Event, if we deem that the date of the Event booked is no longer viable. In the event that the booking cannot be transferred to another Event, we will refund all payments made in relation to the booking.

There is a set menu for each Event, the menu is designed to include vegetarian / vegan options as well as other common dietary requirements. If you have any other specific dietary requirements that aren’t covered please notify us within 21 days of the event and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. All menu choices must be submitted, including all details of dietary requirements no later than 21 days prior to the Event.

Subject to clause 7 (Data Protection) the party organiser is responsible for informing us of any specific dietary requirements (including vegetarian / vegan) or allergies. Any and all of the products on the set menu may contain nut derivatives and other allergic reaction causing products. We therefore accept no responsibility whatsoever for any and all allergic reactions howsoever caused. It is the party organiser’s responsibility to check whether the guests have any allergies, to inform us if this is the case and to make alternative dietary arrangements.

We reserve the right to make changes to the advertised menu in the event of shortages in the supply of particular items, and will endeavour to ensure any substitutions are to an equivalent standard or better.

All drink prices are shown exclusive of VAT which is calculated at the rate of 20% and are subject to change should the VAT rate change.

The cut-off time for submitting drinks choices is no later than 48 hrs before the Event.

Full payment for drinks pre-orders must be received by the cut off date shown above. We reserve the right not to serve any pre-ordered beverages if full payment has not been received prior to the Event.

Should you have any queries or issues regarding your drinks pre-order, this must be brought to the attention of a member of our staff at the Event, as any issues not raised on the evening cannot be dealt with after the Event. We advise you take your beverage receipt as proof of purchase on the evening.

We will not be liable or responsible nor accept any liability for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under this agreement if such failure or delay is caused by an act or event beyond our reasonable control including but not limited to civil war, riot, revolution, act(s) of terrorism, sabotage, storm, earthquake, flood, fire, explosion, lockouts, power failure, industrial disputes or strikes, act(s) of government or local authority, loss of liquor licence, adverse weather conditions or by any other cause not within our reasonable control.
