FAQ

Do I get a seat for every person when I book a table?
You do not have a seat for every person. The tables are meant to act as a ā€œbaseā€ for your group (not an area), this can be cosy or spacious depending on when you book. You are welcome to spread out to other tables if space allows.
If I have under 70 guests can I book the lower deck on a Friday or Saturday?
We do require at least 70 guests throughout the evening in lieu of a minimum spend and to keep the spaces balanced however we can waive this should you have a prepaid budget of (apx) Ā£2.5k+.
We highly recommend weekend daytime parties to enjoy the weather or a Sundayā€“Wednesday evening.
Is the lower deck completely private?
Tamesis Dock: The lower deck is overlooked by the upper deck and the public have access to the toilets by your space (please let a member of staff know should you have any issues with non-guests).
Battersea Barge: The space is more private with no need for anyone to walk through. It is therefore more conducive to ticketing for events or gigs
If I am ticketing an event where do we ticket from?
From the lower deck (only). You are not allowed to stand at the entrance as we need to accommodate walk onā€™s
Can we bring decorations?
Decorations must be tied. We do not allow tape, tack nor anything messy such as confetti, party poppers etc. If you are planning to bring decorations, please let us know. The deposit is used towards this.
Can I bring cake if itā€™s my birthday?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a cake. We may not provide cutlery and plate so please bring a blunt knife, napkins, paper plates etc.
Can I bring food & drink?
No, we are a licensed bar and have a kitchen. However if there was a specific food type you wanted to bring we can offer this for a Ā£600 food corkage (no access to kitchen, pls bring everything needed)
Are there cloakrooms?
No, please do not leave anything valuable unattended. You are responsible for your belongings.
