- We have a BBQ in our outdoor area. We need to know if you are planning to use the BBQ as we need to ensure there is sufficient gas.
- Home theatre system with an i-
pod. Please note if you are planning a dancing party the speakers on this system distort at loud volumes and won’t be suitable for the whole night so we recommend a DJ, hiring a sound system or jukebox. (See Entertainment) - Fridge space includes one 2 door underbar fridge for your exclusive use. For large gatherings it would be best to bring ice and some ice buckets as well. You can also place some food on spare shelves in our 2 food fridges however please guests must not use the food fridges. You cannot use our drinks, food or stores without permission.
- Furniture can be moved into other positions, we will attempt to have the venue set up to suit your needs ahead of arrival, though on occasions we will need to do this upon arrival. We do not supply tablecloths.
- You can put up some decorations, but they must be removed. We generally recommend using balloons as these are the easiest to dispose off and make a big impact.
- We have a lot of lamps that create a pleasant evening mood, you can add your own fairy lights and candles.
- Empty bottles can be placed into our recycling bin and food and scraps into our main bin. The bins are both 240 litres and will be empty. If the bins become full you will need to take the remainder of the rubbish when leaving.
What are your expectations about how the place is left?
Whilst we do engage cleaners for the floors and bathrooms we do expect the venue to be left tidy; specifically:
- all party rubbish must be cleared
- stove cleaned and all surfaces wiped
- glasses and crockery washed and put away
- decorations removed, breakages swept up
- all rubbish bagged and binned or removed if bins are full
We will ask a representative of the hiring party to sign a contract to the effect that the above provisions are understood and will be adhered to.
