A £50 deposit is required to secure the party booking. The deposit is non-refundable 21 or less days before the date of the party. The balance is due 4 days prior to your party when exact final numbers must be confirmed.

Do you cater for special dietary requests?

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate any specific dietary requests or changes to our standard menu. Please ask a member of our team who can provide allergen information for both prepacked and non-prepacked party food and drink. We use many ingredients and shared equipment in our kitchens every day.

Whilst we do our best to manage the cross contamination of ingredients, we cannot guarantee that our food meets allergen-free levels. Information on our food in relation to the 14 ingredients regarded as allergens by the Food Standards Agency is available on request. We recommend that party guests with food allergies or intolerances bring in their own food for consumption. This food should be stored in a sealed and labelled container and must remain the responsibility of the child’s accompanying adult. The accompanying adult is responsible for managing any food consumed by any guests with allergies, intolerances or food hypersensitivities at all times

Once numbers are confirmed is this the fixed amount to be paid for?

Your confirmed final number is the minimum number you will be charged for, except where there are less than the required minimum of 10 children. Additional guests will be charged the cost per head of your party. While we shall endeavour to cater for unexpected guests, please be aware that this may not always be possible.  If additional food and table space cannot be provided, additional guests will be charged at our standard entry tariff applicable at the time of the party, as long as capacity allows.  Payment for additional guests must be made at the time of entry.

Will I get a refund if party guests do not arrive on the day?

Unfortunately once numbers are confirmed, we will not provide a refund for any no shows on the day.

Are babies under 1 year counted as guests at parties?

No they are not. Babies under 1 year are admitted free so please do not include them in your party guest numbers. Babies under 1 year will not therefore receive a party meal. If you do wish for a guest under the age of 1 to be included in the party and to receive party food, then please do include them within your numbers.

What if I need to cancel my party?

You can cancel your party and receive your deposit back 3 weeks or more before the party. Your deposit is non-refundable 21 or less days before the date of the party, however we can arrange for the deposit to be used for a future party held within a year of the initial booking.

How do you determine what is ‘Term Time’?

We align our prices with state school term dates.

Is there an age that is classified as an adult for parties?

Children over the age of 12 are classed as adults and are not permitted on the play equipment.

How many adults can attend?

Each party group will be allocated one table and four chairs.  We regret that we are unable to provide additional seating for more than four adults.  Additional seating may be available elsewhere in the building.  As we have limited capacity for accompanying adults we allow only one free adult per party guest. We recommend a ratio of one adult for every 5 children attending. For the comfort of all party guests and to aid sufficient space, we recommend that the number of adult guests in party rooms is limited to 4 (not including our party hosts).

What do I need to bring?

We provide plates, cutlery, cups and napkins and your party food. We regret we can’t allow your own decorations or party poppers as they may cause damage to our rooms.

Apart from a birthday cake, no food or drinks may be brought in or consumed on the premises (please see separate FAQ regarding special dietary requirements).

We advise that birthday cakes brought onto the premises should not require refrigeration and should be from a reputable baker/cake maker or a supermarket, with an accompanying list of ingredients and allergens highlighted. Homemade cakes may be supplied and served by you to your guests within the party room, however, in all circumstances the named adult customer is responsible for managing any food consumed by any guests with allergies, intolerances or food hypersensitivities at all times.
