Here's what I've found. At some level this choice could come down to how much we think we can spend. The venues are all impressive and are likely to all be good. If we need to spend less then the Cellar Door restaurant will do excellent food.
OK - I am assuming about 77 people for dinner at £55+VAT per head as a starting point for the budget. i.e. about £5000
The Hub
Details attached. I'm going to see this venue this afternoon. Details are:
Dinner Package @ £55.00 + VAT per person, based on minimum numbers of 40 guests, to include: Use of Dunard Library from 7pm till midnight. 1 x glass of sparkling wine on arrival, 3 course dinner + tea/coffee, ½ bottle house wine with dinner
Looks good, and they have a good menu selection including valid vegitarian options. We may have too many people for the Dunard Library, but they have other spaces - may need to check what is available if we need more space.
Surgeons Hall
Details attached. Note that it mentions 12th October which was a mistake, they are available for our dates. Main details are: £400 venue hire, dinner from £35 per person, wine from £17 a bottle.
Possible, though no vegitarian options mentioned.
Dovecot Studios
Details attached. There is a choice of caterers, I've not contacted any of them yet. The venue hire would be £800.
Not too clear which space we would use here. Overall cost depends on caterer.
