You'll find restaurant venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity! Below you can see the typical venue sizes in Manchester, together with the standard prices in each size range, based on Tagvenue data (October 2025):
| Small restaurant venues | up to 40 guests | prices average £500 minimum spend per event |

First, consider booking during off-peak times—midweek or lunch hours are often cheaper than Friday or Saturday nights. You can also explore the "minimum spend" venues, where you only pay a minimum amount for food and drink rather than a set hire fee, making it easier to stay within budget. Look for venues that allow partial hire, like Banyan Corn Exchange, which lets you reserve just a section of the restaurant rather than the entire space, perfect for smaller groups. Another insider tip is to ask about last-minute deals—restaurants often offer discounted rates for dates they struggle to fill. Finally, negotiate with the venue manager; many restaurant venues are willing to adjust pricing or offer perks like complimentary drinks or extended hours if you ask.
