Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum spend required to book the Whole Venue at Bat & Ball Covent Garden?
The minimum spend for exclusive hire varies by event type and date. For example, a full venue evening hire in December (19:00–00:00, up to 500 guests) is £20,833.33 plus a 12.5% service charge. Daytime minimum spend examples are £20,000 (including VAT) plus 12.5% service charge.
Are there additional mandatory costs beyond the minimum spend?
Yes, a 12.5% service charge is added to the final bill for all bookings. Some quotes also break out specific games hire fees (e.g., £1,000 for games or £2,500 for a large set of games). Always check if games or area hire are included or charged separately based on your event format.
How does games and entertainment pricing work?
Games are not included in the basic minimum spend and are charged separately. For example, whole venue hire lists full games access at £1,000 for a package including karaoke, shuffleboard, ping pong, pool, mini golf, and interactive darts. Certain semi-private lounge options specify £2,000 for area hire including unlimited access to listed games.
What are the guest capacity limits for the Whole Venue?
The Whole Venue can accommodate up to 500 guests standing. Event-specific examples show events of 130–460 guests as typical for exclusive hire, with up to 250–300 possible for more casual party formats. Exact upper limits may vary based on layout and event requirements.
What are the available timings and hire periods for whole venue events?
Evening full-hire events typically run from 19:00 to 00:00 or 01:00. Daytime hires usually cover 09:00 to 17:00 or 12:00 to 17:00. Set-up access can start from 9:30 or 17:00 depending on the event schedule provided in your quote.
How do I book and what is the booking process?
To start booking, arrange a site visit and confirm the event date. Once agreed, you will receive a package/quote confirming minimum spend, timings, and any additional services required. Payment timings, deposit details, and contract/confirmation terms are not specified in the available information.
Can we bring external caterers or is catering in-house only?
All food and drink must be provided in-house. There is no indication that outside catering is permitted, and all minimum spends relate to food and beverages purchased directly from Bat & Ball Covent Garden.
Are there any restrictions on entertainment or suppliers?
You can bring your own DJ when booking the whole venue. There is no stated requirement or prohibition for external AV suppliers; however, details about approval processes for outside entertainment or vendors are not provided.
Are there any notable restrictions on event types, dates, or what is allowed on site?
The venue does not allow full venue hire on Mondays or Tuesdays for some event formats (noted in at least one quote). There are no stated prohibitions on specific activities (e.g., dancing, DJs), but all games must be coordinated as part of hire terms.
Is there seating available for conferences or presentations as part of a mixed-use event?
The Whole Venue can be configured in theatre style for presentations. For example, one corporate event hosted leadership presentations with all guests seated before transitioning to a social format; AV (screen, PA system, microphones) can be provided or accommodated as part of your booking if requested.
How does the food and drink service work for minimum spend events?
All minimum spend amounts must be met via food and drinks purchased in advance or from the bar during your event. Example packages include pre-set menus for both food and drink, with per-person package pricing around £45 for Christmas party packages, or deposits/bar tabs if you prefer flexible allocation.
