Here are a few that stand out:
Host your event during non-peak hours (early afternoon or weekdays) or outside busy seasons, like summer festivals or the holiday period. Look for venues with event packages or minimum spend options, which are often more flexible for smaller groups. Booking in advance and choosing smaller spaces can also help reduce costs, mainly by keeping guest numbers within the venue's lower capacity range. Consider bringing your own decorations or AV equipment, if allowed, and opt for simpler catering choices to save money.
Pubs are great for relaxed, informal gatherings where coworkers can chat and network, so make sure the setting fits the tone of your event. Check if the venue has WI-Fi and AV equipment, like projectors or screens for presentations.
Time your event is to get the best experience for your guests. Weekday evenings are great for corporate events, as many pubs may be quieter and able to offer exclusive access to their private spaces. Lastly, customize the menu to accommodate dietary preferences, providing options for vegetarians or those with allergies.
