Unfortunately you cannot. Although the kitchen and hall is of an excellent standard, it does not have the necessary licence for food preparation. However, you can prepare food elsewhere and bring it to the hall to serve to the people attending your particular function.

No this is not possible even though the bar may have its own independent licence. You can bring drinks for your guests, or they may bring their own drink, but you are not allowed to sell any alcohol and as the hirer, it would be your responsibility for any problems that may arise from the consumption of alcohol whilst at the premises.

No we do not have late evening parties with music because of the neighbouring properties.

Yes we have fibre optic high speed internet and Wi-Fi facilities available in the building.

If you are in agreement with the charge for your booking, the normal procedure is as follows -
You would be sent a Bookings Form which you would need to check through just to make sure that we have the right details, dates and times. This would normally be sent via email to your registered email address. You will be asked to pay 50% of your total hire charge and send back the form, signed and dated, with the initial 50% payment. Cheques should be made payable to:
DEVERELL HALL COMMITTEE or you can pay online. Please do not send cash through the post!

At least 14 days prior to your actual date booked you would then send us the remaining 50% balance payment (and if requested) a Security Damages Deposit on a separate cheque. If however your booking is only a few weeks after your enquiry, you will be asked then to pay the whole amount, as it will be likely that the booking will fall within the 14 day payment period.

No. Payments and Booking Forms must be sent to the Bookings Secretary as they need to be processed, and the payments passed onto the Treasurer. Your booking form will give you the postal address of the Bookings Secretary who is responsible for dealing with all the bookings. Please DO NOT send any payments to the post box at Deverell Hall, and all payments should be made by cheque, or online. PLEASE DO NOT send cash through the postal service. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.

This may or may not be asked of you. It will depend on the age group of the party or function, whether or not you have previously hired the hall, and other factors. Whether or not you do pay this amount (it is normally £65.00) you will still be liable for any damages caused whilst you are in the hall. Quoting from part of the Bookings Form:
SECTION (B) The returnable security deposit is your guarantee that you will leave the Hall in a reasonably clean condition, and may be used to cover any damages incurred during your period of hire. In each of the Halls available, there are notices reminding users of their obligations, and if necessary, you may be subject to additional costs, even if you have, or have not paid a returnable security deposit.
SECTION (C) IMPORTANT: As the hirer it is your responsibility to make sure your events are properly supervised and organised. Any damages that exceed your hire charge, security deposit paid or not paid, will be legally and fully recoverable. We wish your hire to go successfully, but you will be held fully accountable for losses and damages during your period of hire, without exception. These losses will also be subject to any administration charges that we incur.
