Booking
your Party:
o
Can I
book online?
I’m afraid you are unable to book online. You will need to call the
office on 0117 9710320 or email info@hypeagency.co.uk
with your minimum numbers, preferred date, full contact details including an
address and your company name (if applicable)
o
How
many guests to a table?
Our tables are 6ft round tables and can seat up to 12 guests. Due to
this we do need to have a minimum number for a booking of 8 guests as we don’t
mix clients.
o
Do all
nights have the same package?
Nights & packages will vary. Please ensure you check the package for
your chosen night.
o
How
flexible are the menu’s?
We offer a themed set menu at all our venues. Due to the number of
guests we cater for during December we are unable to cater for individual
tastes and alternative menus. We do offer a menu that takes into consideration
vegan, coeliac, dairy free and nut allergies. (Please note this must be
requested at least 2 weeks prior to your event). We have amazing chefs who will try to cater
to all special dietary requirements if we are told at least 2 weeks in advance,
however this may not always be feasible.
o
Will I
receive tickets?
Yes, we aim to send out our tickets during November. We will send
tickets to the addresses on the system so please ensure you have given us the
correct address. (this will be the address on your booking form)Tickets will
only be sent to guests who have paid in full by the time we post the tickets.
Once tickets have been sent if you increase your numbers, tickets will be put
on the door for these guests. Guests will not be allowed in the venue without
their tickets.
o
Are we
able to increase our numbers?
Yes of course the more the merrier, as long as there is availability for
the night and on your tables. You would need to contact the office to enquire
and we require payment at the time of increasing your numbers. As of the 1st
December we may not be able to accommodate this.
o
What if
I need to cancel a ticket?
I’m afraid all deposits are completely non-transferable and
non-refundable. We have a cancellation policy in place based on the below:
At least 120 days’ notice - 25%
of the final balance will be charged
|
At least 90 days’ notice 50% of
the final balance will be charged
|
At least 60 days’ notice 75% of
the final balance will be charged
|
less than 60 days’ notice 100% of the final balance will be charged

Pre-ordering for your Party:
o
Can we
run a bar tab?
Yes, we are very happy to run a bar tab. We will need a credit card to
be left behind the bar with our bar team.
Tabs have to be settled at the end of the night. I’m afraid we aren’t
able to offer multiple tabs for one card. Hype can’t take any responsibility for bar
tabs and it is up to the individual to ensure the bar tab is used correctly.
o
Do you
offer table service?
On the night, our bar team will be going round the tables and offering
table service.

Pre-Order my Drinks?
Yes, we send out a pre-order form prior to your event. These needs to be
completed and returned to HYPE with payment. These need to be returned at least
1 week prior to your party night. If we haven’t received payment before the
event the order will not be available on the night. If you pre-order drinks
vouchers these will need to be collected from a Bar Manager on the night.
o
What is
a Drink Voucher?
Drinks vouchers are vouchers that can be pre-ordered prior to your
event. They entitle the guest to one small glass of house wine, a bottle of
house lager, a single house spirit and mixer or a soft drink. These cannot be
exchanged for cash, upgraded or doubled up. These will not be sent out in the
post and will be available from a Bar Manager on the night.

bring my own alcohol?
