Events
Private dining room, semi-private area and full venue hire events:
- All quotes or proposals are valid for 48 hours.
- A non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of 25% of the agreed minimum spend (or total event cost, if higher) is required to confirm your event.
- Semi-private and full venue hire bookings also require a signed contract between you (the client) and Arcade (the venue). - The remaining balance is due:
- 14 days prior for private dining room or semi-private area events
- 28 days prior for half or full venue hire events (including the Tap Room at Battersea Power Station) - A food and beverage pre-order, along with all guest dietary requirements (including allergies), is required to complete the event function sheet.
- If this is not provided at least 7 days before the event, a function sheet will be created by the Events Team up to the value of the contracted total, based on the venue’s recommendations. Any changes will be at the venue’s discretion.
- Within 27-7 days of the booking date, a decrease in number of guests will mean you will have a choice of still receiving the full package / menu or pre-order allocation as per original number of guests or converting monies paid associated with the decrease in guest numbers from a package / menu to any other additional food and drinks or a bar tab (non-refundable and non-transferrable) to be used during the booking.
- Within 6 days of the booking date, the food and drink allocation of your chosen package /menu or pre-order associated with the decrease in guest numbers will still be served for your group on the day of the booking and can not be converted into a bar tab or credit for future events.
- If you wish for the food (for the guests unable to attend) to not be served to avoid food waste, we would really appreciate you notifying us at least 2 days prior to your booking date so we can avoid unnecessary food preparation.
- If the decrease in number of guests is by 40% or more, we will discuss with you a reduction in the size of the allocated area or an alternative space to ensure your group has the best possible experience.
All booking types:
- Any pre-paid, unused monies on the day of the booking or event are non-refundable and non-transferable after the event end.
- Additional food and drinks ordered on the day are subject to availability and must be paid for at the venue.
