"Just
wanted to say a huge thank you for hosting my pink party. We all
had the most fabulous time and this was all the better for your
kindness, relaxed approach and general calmness on the night..
Many people commented on how well you coped behind the constantly
busy bar and how fabulous the setting was.
I
hope that we weren't too much trouble for you and that you will
have us to party again soon
Thank
you for making it really special"
Wedding
Parties:
Il
Bordello can arrange live music or DJ's at your request, and is
happy for you to decorate the interior (within the constraints
of health and safety guidelines).
Il
Bordello now has a deck canopy for the summer, bringing the capacity
up to 130, with additional day-time seating for on the quayside.
For special one-off occasions, a bedouin tent can be erected on
the quayside, though this outdoor space has a time limit of 11.00pm.
Due
to regular requests, Il Bordello is currently looking in to obtaining
a licence to carry out full wedding ceremonies on board.
Children's
Parties:
Although not
strictly to Il Bordello's personal musical tastes (!), we host
children's parties. Il Bordello deck railings meet with Health
and Safety Regulations for children being outdoors in the summer,
and Il Bordello has a children's licence until 9.00pm.
Large
Scale PR Events:
During
summer 2003, Il Bordello hosted the VIP hospitality for the Massive
Attack gig in Queen's Square. With three Bedouin tents on the
quayside, more than 700 guests passed through the entrance of
Il Bordello during the day and evening.
Il Bordello can supply quay-side bedouin tents, heating, lighting
and decorative planting for groups where a larger capacity is
required. All extras must be paid for in full in advance of the
event.
Please
e-mail us with your
requests, or complete the on-line
booking form.
Terms
and conditions of hire:
- We
do not accept BYO drinks.
- Il
Bordello reserves the right to insist on a pre-hire meeting and
walk through to ensure that hirers understand the necessary compliance
with public entertainment and liquour licenses, and health and
safety requirements re floor space and capacity .
- 10%
administration / set-up fees will be charged on all bills.
- We
do allow smoking but not around the bar area and customers are
asked to be considerate of other guests.
- Il
Bordello would request that hirers and members do not invite anyone
on-board whom they would not wish to leave un-attended in their
own home.
- All
use of own equipment from fairy lights to record decks has to
be agreed with Il Bordello beforehand and electrical items
must be PAT tested.
- All
decorations such as balloons and birthday messages which hirers
wish to put up for their function, have to receive prior consent
from Il Bordello staff and also have to fall within the boundaries
of Health and Safety requirements.
- Unfortunately
as Il Bordello is a licensed premises, we do not allow you to
bring your own food or drink aboard, apart from a birthday or
wedding cake.
- Il
Bordello hires out the premises on the understanding that it is
the responsibility of the hirer to ensure the good behaviour of
their guests. If a guest is behaving in a manner that is offensive
to other guests or staff, they will be asked to leave, regardless
of whether or not a hire fee has been paid.
- Unfortunately
there will be an automatic £25 cleaning charge if hirers
use confetti, glitter stars or party poppers as we do not allow
them because they are difficult to clean up from between the floor-boards,
and usually stain the surfaces of the tables. If your guests use
these, the cleaning fee will be taken from your c/c details or
the blank cheque, which is left with Il Bordello for such purposes.
- If
you wish to pre-pay a reduced rate drinks tab for your guests,
this can be negotiated, but must be paid for in full, prior to
the evening. Eg. £10 per bottle of wine, on a case of 12,
£2.00 per bottle of lager, on a case of 24. These will be
done on a contract and exclude VAT.
