We hire out the venue, all of it or parts of it, tailored to the day. For two decades Steam has been the City’s quiet recommendation for client entertaining. Insurance teams marking deals over long lunches. Broker meetings that ran long and ended better for it. Sporting events with the room behind one screen. Post-work drinks that became something more. Whatever you are hosting, we will set the room so your guests feel looked after from the moment they arrive. Whatever you are planning, start with a conversation, not a quote. Tell us the date, the rough headcount, and the vibe, and we will come back with a plan within 48 hours. Use case one Corporate entertaining Impress your clients in the heart of the City If you have a client in town, a board you need to feed, or a relationship that needs a memorable evening, Steam is built for this. The basement setting makes every occasion feel private even when the room is full, and the wine list and kitchen are both operating in the league where the City expects them to be. We can take over the whole venue for the day, build the event around the stage area at the back of the bar, or host you across the main floor alongside our regular trade. Whichever works for the moment. Board dinners for six to twelve at a long table at the back Client lunches on the main floor, with or without a speaker Year end entertaining for twenty to eighty Full venue takeover for the big client relationships Use case two Celebrations Christmas, birthdays, retirement, promotion The occasions that deserve more than a round of drinks and less than a ballroom. A long lunch, a proper dinner, the room set to a boardroom feel or a cabaret layout, and as much wine as the evening deserves. Christmas is the obvious one and the one the City plans for earliest, but we run retirement lunches, big birthdays, and the occasional promotion dinner that needs to feel like an occasion in its own right. Christmas lunches and dinners, December onwards Retirement and leaving do’s with a speaker option Milestone birthdays for forty to eighty guests Team promotions with a bar tab and a long lunch Use case three Team events Quiz nights, wine tastings, themed evenings The team events that are actually fun instead of just branded. Steam has a quiz format that has been running for years, a wine tasting that we tailor to the team, and a handful of themed evenings that never get old. All bookable as private hire. Smaller teams take the back of the room comfortably, bigger teams take over the main floor. Food and drinks packages can be tailored to the team; upgrade to the set menu for occasions that want plates. Steam Quiz, teams of up to twelve, prizes included Guided wine tastings, curated for the team Themed nights: Burgundy evenings, champagne masterclass, regional specials Mixed format evenings with a speaker and a tasting How much space do you have A single flowing venue with a stage area at the back. Capacity flexes with how you want to use the room. Planning it for a client or a team? The City of London corporate events guide sets out the questions worth asking any venue before you sign anything. 150 standing Reception style for drinks, launches, and team socials where the room moves around. 90 seated Long tables, rounds, or a mixed layout. Best for celebrity lunches and formal dinners.

Steam Wine Bar has been hosting corporate entertainment in the heart of the City since 2005. Networking lunches, private dining, presentations, guest speakers, or the whole venue to yourselves: we make it easy and we make it good. Talk to us about your event: events@steamwinebar.com or 020 7929 0819 A proper place to entertain Steam Wine Bar sits one minute from Bank and Monument stations, in a basement on St George’s Lane that has been a City institution since 2005. It does not feel like a conference room. It does not feel like a chain bar either. It feels like somewhere you’d actually want to be, which is the point. Corporate entertaining works when people relax. When the formality drops, the conversations become useful. Steam is built for exactly that: warm, personal service, a wine list worth talking about, and a room that has seen enough City lunches to know how to run one without making a fuss of it. We host everything from networking drinks for twenty to whole-venue private hire for 150 guests. What stays consistent is the atmosphere and the service. What we offer Networking Lunches A sit-down lunch for your clients or team, with our full menu and wine service. Private room available for up to 90 guests seated. If you want a guest speaker or a MC to run proceedings, we can talk through options. Midday to mid-afternoon, Monday to Thursday. Networking Drinks After-work drinks for your team or a client group. The venue works well for standing receptions, informal mingling, or a structured welcome before dinner. Whether it is ten people or the whole floor, we’ll make sure the wine is cold and the team is ready. Private Dining A dedicated space for up to 90 guests for a seated dinner or lunch. The room lends itself to structured events: presentations, award moments, speeches, or simply a table that feels genuinely private rather than partitioned off a busy restaurant. Presentations and Guest Speakers Steam has a long history of hosting speaker lunches and presentations. The room has natural focus; guests arrive, settle in with a drink, and pay attention. AV requirements are handled on a per-event basis. Get in touch and we’ll discuss what you need. Whole-Venue Hire The entire venue for up to 150 guests. Perfect for company celebrations, large client events, annual parties, or anything that warrants a venue to yourselves. The basement setting gives your event a distinct character you will not find in a serviced events suite. The detail, plainly stated Seated capacity: up to 90 guests (private dining and presentations) Quiz and structured event capacity: up to 126 guests Whole-venue hire: up to 150 guests Location: 1 St George’s Lane, London EC3R 8DJ Nearest stations: Bank (1 min), Monument (1 min) Booking enquiries: events@steamwinebar.com , 020 7929 0819 , or use the enquiry form at /book Access note: Steam Wine Bar is a basement venue reached by stairs. There is no step-free access. Please let us know in advance if any of your guests have specific requirements and we will do everything we can to help. Still weighing venues? We wrote a guide to booking corporate events in the City of London covering venue choice, formats and timing. FAQ: Booking a Corporate Event at Steam Wine Bar How many people can you accommodate for a corporate event? It depends on the format. For a seated private dinner or lunch, we can seat up to 90 guests. For a structured event with theatre-style seating, such as a quiz or a presentation evening, we can host up to 126 guests. For a standing reception or whole-venue hire, the venue holds up to 150 guests. Can we hire the whole venue exclusively? Yes. Whole-venue hire is available for up to 150 guests. Your event gets the full basement, the full team, and none of the background noise of a shared space. It works well for company celebrations, large client evenings, and annual parties. Get in touch to check availability. Is the venue step-free and accessible? Steam Wine Bar is a basement venue reached by a flight of stairs. There is no step-free access to the main venue space. If any of your guests have specific access requirements, please mention this when you enquire and we will do what we can to help. What catering options are available for private events? Our kitchen provides food service Monday to Thursday, with lunches from midday and evening food service Tuesday to Thursday. For private events, we’ll discuss the format with you and make sure the menu suits the occasion. We do not offer a separate buffet or external catering option; all food comes from our own kitchen. Do you have AV equipment for presentations or guest speakers? We have hosted speaker lunches and presentations for many years. AV requirements vary event by event, so please include your technical needs when you enquire and we will confirm what we can provide or accommodate. We would rather be straight with you about what works in the space than overpromise. Can we bring in a guest speaker or external MC? Yes, absolutely. Steam has a strong history of speaker events and we are well set up for them. Whether you are bringing your own speaker or want to discuss options, we are happy to talk it through. How far in advance do we need to book? Popular dates, particularly mid-week lunches in autumn and the run-up to Christmas, can fill several weeks ahead. We would suggest getting in touch as soon as you have a date in mind. For summer events, a few weeks’ notice is usually fine, but earlier is always safer. Is Steam Wine Bar available for morning events or breakfast briefings? Our standard opening is from midday. If a morning or breakfast format is something you are interested in, please mention it when you enquire and we will see what we can arrange. Where exactly is Steam Wine Bar and how do guests get there? We are at 1 St George’s Lane, London EC3R 8DJ, one minute’s walk from both Bank station (Central and Northern lines, DLR) and Monument station (District and Circle lines). For guests coming from further afield, we are also a short walk from Fenchurch Street and a few minutes from Liverpool Street. The nearest car parking is the NCP on Lower Thames Street; we would always suggest public transport for City events. How do we enquire or confirm a booking? The quickest way is to email events@steamwinebar.com or call 020 7929 0819 . You can also use the short enquiry form at steamwinebar.com/book . We will come back to you within one working day with availability and anything else you need to know.

Written by a venue that has hosted the City since 2005. Home › Corporate Events › The Booker's Guide Somebody in every office ends up owning the events diary. Sometimes it's the EA or PA, sometimes the office manager, sometimes whoever on the marketing team said yes to organising the summer party three years ago and never quite escaped. The job title varies; the situation doesn't. You book the venue, you carry the risk, and if the evening goes well the credit tends to drift towards whoever gave the speech. We've been on the other side of that arrangement since 2005. Steam Wine Bar is a basement venue on St George's Lane, one minute from Bank and Monument, and a large share of our bookings come from exactly the people described above: the organisers inside the insurance and broking firms around EC3 who have to get it right, quarter after quarter. This guide collects what those bookers ask us, what the sharpest ones check before they confirm anything, and what we'd want to know if we were sitting on your side of the email. Four sections: how to choose between a characterful venue and a hotel function room, the questions worth asking before you book anywhere, the event formats that actually work, and when to book if you want the dates everyone else wants. There's no sales pitch until the end, and even then it's a short one. 1. A room with character, or a hotel function room Most corporate venue searches end up at the same fork in the road. Option one is the hotel function room or serviced events suite: large, predictable, air-conditioned, with a laminated AV menu and a coffee station in the corridor. Option two is a smaller independent venue with its own character and its own way of doing things. The function room is the safe-looking choice, and for some events it's genuinely the right one. If you're running a 400-person conference with breakout sessions and a registration desk, book the hotel. Nobody sensible would tell you otherwise. Client entertaining is a different job. The purpose of a client lunch or an evening reception isn't to seat people efficiently. It's to start conversations that wouldn't happen across a desk, and to leave your guests with a memory attached to your firm's name. That's where the anonymous room quietly works against you. Your guests have sat in a hundred rooms like it. They know the drill, they behave accordingly, and by Thursday they couldn't tell you which hotel it was. A venue with character does the opposite. A basement room with herringbone floors, candlelight and a proper bar gives people something to notice and something to talk about before the first glass is poured. The conversation starts itself, which is precisely what you booked the event for. Scale matters here too, and not in the direction most venue marketing suggests. A 90-seat room means your event is the event. There's no ballroom next door working through its own awards night, no shared lobby, no signage directing your guests past someone else's conference. Everyone in the room is yours, and the whole team working that day is working for you. Two honest caveats, because a smaller venue asks a little more of the booker. First, check the numbers properly: a room that seats 90 will not seat 120, whatever anyone hopes. At Steam the figures are 90 seated, 126 for structured events with theatre-style seating, and 150 standing for whole-venue hire. Second, character sometimes comes with quirks. Steam is a basement reached by stairs, with no step-free access, and that's worth knowing on day one rather than the day before. A simple test we'd suggest: picture your most important guest walking in. If the moment you're imagining looks like a corridor and a branded pull-up banner, keep looking. 90 Seated 126 Structured events 150 Whole venue 2. The questions to ask before you book anywhere The difference between a booker who has done this before and one who hasn't is rarely taste. It's the list of questions they send before confirming. Here's the list we'd use, and the answers any decent venue should give you without flinching. What's the capacity in the layout I actually want? A venue quoting a single number is a venue about to disappoint someone. A seated dinner, a theatre-style presentation and a standing reception are three different capacities in the same room. Ask for the figure for your format. At Steam: up to 90 seated for lunches and dinners, up to 126 for structured events such as quizzes and presentations, up to 150 standing for exclusive whole-venue hire. What AV is there, and what does my speaker need? If your event involves a presentation, a panel or a guest speaker, send the technical requirements with your enquiry and get a plain answer back before you book. A good venue tells you exactly what works in its space rather than promising everything and improvising on the day. Steam has a microphone and PA used at our own speaker lunches every season, plus screens in the main room for slides; anything beyond that, we confirm in writing first. How are dietary requirements handled? The practical answer you want is "per guest, with advance notice". Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergies should all be routine, not a drama. It's also worth asking where the food actually comes from. At Steam everything is from our own kitchen, shaped to the occasion; there's no external catering to coordinate. What are the timings, exactly? Not just the guest arrival time. When can you or your suppliers get in to set up, when does food service start and finish, and when does the event have to end? At Steam, lunch events run midday to mid-afternoon Monday to Thursday, evening events run Tuesday to Thursday until 11pm, and morning formats such as breakfast briefings are arranged case by case. What's the access situation? Ask directly, and be wary of vague answers. Steam is a basement venue reached by a flight of stairs, and there is no step-free access. We'd rather tell you that in the first email than have a guest find out at the door. If any of your guests have specific requirements, tell the venue early and a straight answer should come back about what can and can't be done. How do guests get there, and where do the taxis go? An event your guests can't find starts badly, and in the City the answer is nearly always the Tube. Steam is one minute's walk from both Bank and Monument, three minutes from Fenchurch Street, and a short walk from Liverpool Street. Taxis drop on Eastcheap or Gracechurch Street, and the nearest car park is the NCP on Lower Thames Street, though for a City event we'd always point guests at public transport. Whatever the venue, put the walking directions in the invitation; it's a small thing that saves ten phone calls on the day. Who will I actually be dealing with? A coordinator who stays with you from first email to event day is worth a great deal more than a bookings inbox. At Steam you deal with the same events team throughout, and enquiries get a reply within one working day. Can I see the room? Always ask. Half the questions on this list answer themselves the moment you stand in the space. On price: any venue doing this properly will quote per event, because a Tuesday lunch for 30 and a Friday takeover for 150 are not the same job. Enquire for rates, and expect the quote to be itemised and quick. 3. The formats that work After two decades of City events, the bookings settle into five formats. All five run at Steam, and the same shapes work at any venue worth booking. The full detail, including our ten most-asked booking questions, is on the corporate events page . Networking lunches The City classic, and still the format that does the most work per hour. A sit-down lunch from midday to mid-afternoon, Monday to Thursday, with full menu and wine service. Add an MC or a guest speaker if you want structure, or let a good table and a good list do the job on their own. Networking drinks After-work drinks for a team or a client group, from ten people to the whole floor. The format suits standing receptions, informal mingling, or a structured welcome before a dinner. The bar matters more than usual here, which is rather our home ground. Private dining A dedicated space for up to 90 guests, seated. This is the format for speeches, award moments and anything that should feel genuinely private rather than partitioned off the corner of a busy restaurant. Presentations and guest speakers Steam has hosted speaker lunches for many years, and the room has a natural focus: guests arrive, settle in with a drink, and pay attention. The same structured setup, with theatre-style seating for up to 126, also works for team events; a company quiz night is a reliably popular way to use it. Whole-venue hire The entire venue, exclusively yours, for up to 150 guests. Company celebrations, large client evenings, annual parties, Christmas. Fridays and weekends are available by private arrangement, which is worth knowing when the mid-week diary is full. Choosing between them comes down to one question: what do you want people saying on the way out? "Lovely lunch" points to private dining. "I met three useful people" points to networking drinks. "Did you hear what the speaker said about the Ashes" points to a speaker lunch. "That was the best Christmas do we've had" points to the whole venue. 4. Timing: when the diary actually gets decided Here's the pattern we see every single year. October to December is decided in September. Everyone returns from summer in the same week, looks at the same diary, and starts booking the same six weeks of autumn. Mid-week lunch dates go first, because the lunch is the City's default format and Tuesday to Thursday are the City's default days. By mid-October, the venues around EC3 are quoting you their second-choice dates and everyone is being terribly polite about it. Christmas compounds the problem. The most-wanted December slots are the Wednesdays and Thursdays in the first three weeks of the month, and there are only six of them. They go to whoever moved earliest, which in practice means the bookers who enquired in September and confirmed in early October. That's the entire early-bird logic: not a discount, just first choice of a small set of dates that cannot be manufactured later. The practical rules, from the venue side of the ledger: If the event matters, enquire two months ahead. For December, make it three. Book the date before the details. A venue can hold a date while the guest list settles; it cannot invent a second Thursday. If your preferred date has gone, ask about Fridays or a whole-venue arrangement before you compromise on the room itself. January is underrated. The diary is open, guests are fresh, and a New Year planning lunch lands well while everyone's good intentions are still intact. None of this is a scarcity pitch. It's the arithmetic of a district where several thousand firms share a handful of good rooms and one short season. The short sales pitch we promised Steam Wine Bar has been hosting the City since 2005: an independent, family-run basement venue at 1 St George's Lane, EC3R 8DJ, one minute's walk from Bank and Monument. Teams from firms including Marsh, Aon, Lockton, WTW and Sompo International have eaten, argued and celebrated in this room. Up to 90 seated, 126 for structured events, 150 for whole-venue hire, all of it with our kitchen, our wine list and one point of contact from first email to event day. If you're planning something between now and Christmas, the diary advice above applies to us too, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later.

Every occasion. Below street level on St George’s Lane, steps from Monument station and Lloyd’s of London. One basement, one room, one atmosphere, set differently for every occasion. Steam is a basement venue. That is not a disclaimer, it is the whole point. We are below street level on St George’s Lane, a one minute walk from Monument and five from Bank. The basement setting gives every event an intimacy you can’t buy on a rooftop. The lighting is warm, the walls are close, and the room feels different at six in the evening than it does at noon. Steam works because of what it is, not how it’s divided. The same flowing space that hosts a celebrity lunch for ninety becomes an evening reception for one hundred and fifty. The configuration changes. The atmosphere doesn’t. Choosing between venues? Our booker’s guide to the City explains what to look for in an EC3 space and when the autumn diary fills up. The room runs from the entrance through to a raised stage area at the back, where speakers stand for the lunches and where bands set up on music nights. There are no walls inside Steam, just one continuous basement with the lighting set to match the occasion. 150 Standing 90 Seated Whole-venue capacity. The configuration shifts to suit the event. Enquire about whole-venue private hire . The room The Room The main seated space. This is where the celebrity lunches happen, where the City turns up in twos, fours and eights, where the wine flows properly and the conversation outlasts the courses. Long communal tables, round tables of six, and a chef’s counter for the smaller party. The room is set differently for a Cheltenham lunch than it is for a monthly boardroom dinner, and we will reset it for your event. Service Full table, wines paired Layout Long tables, rounds, or mixed Best for Seated lunches and dinners Typical duration Three to four hours The bar The Bar The front of the room is the bar. Standing reception space for when the crowd is bigger than the tables allow. Drinks receptions, launch events, team celebrations, and the end of an already long afternoon. The wine list runs deep and the beer is properly kept. On event days this is where guests gather before we set the room for dining. On any other evening, it is a proper City bar with a regular crowd and no pretensions. Service Full bar, deep wine list Layout Standing, optional high tables Best for Drinks receptions, launches Typical duration Two to three hours The back The Stage Area The back of the bar steps up to a small raised area. It is part of the room, not a separate space, but it is where the focal point of the event sits. Speakers stand there for the lunches. Bands set up there on music nights. Comics work to it. It gives the room something to face. When the diary is quiet, the stage area is simply the back of the bar, with a few high tables and the same wine list as everywhere else in the room. When an event is on, it is the centre of attention. Use Speakers, bands, comedy, music Layout Audience around the room, focus to the back Part of The main bar, not a separate room Equipment Microphone and PA on event days Finding us One St George’s Lane is tucked between Eastcheap and Gracechurch Street, on the south side of the Monument/Bank corridor.

The next chapter is on. 2026 is a fresh chapter for Steam. The family is at the helm, the celebrity lunches that built the place still fill the room, and a wider programme of music, comedy and wine evenings is taking root alongside them. This is the page where most venues paste their history. Steam has plenty of it. But the page you are on is mostly about now, because 2026 has felt like the start of something new in this basement. The bones, briefly Twenty years and counting Steam opened in the basement at 1 St George’s Lane in 2005. The first celebrity lunch landed a couple of years later, almost by accident. The format took. The diary has been a year ahead more or less ever since. One hundred and forty-four speakers later, the insurance-broker regulars list runs deep, the room still empties slowly after the last course, and the format that put Steam on the map is still the centre of gravity. The rest of the page is what is wrapping around it now. The room in 2026 What is running now The celebrity lunches still anchor the calendar. Around them, the programme has thickened. Wine club evenings on Wednesdays. Live music for private events. Private hire takes the venue most Thursdays and Saturdays, with companies booking for client dinners, presentations, and team evenings. Nights that used to end at the kitchen door are now closer to four a week. See what is coming up . 144 Speakers who have taken the stage at Steam across twenty years, from Olympic decathletes to household name footballers, cricket legends, boxing champions, and rugby internationals. Browse the full archive → The current stewardship Tom Quick, behind the bar Tom runs Steam day-to-day. Music industry background. A passion for good food, wine and service, and the kind of ear for a room that only comes from years of playing them. He is the one who greets you on event days, and the one who sets the running order for the wine club evenings. Under Tom and the family, the celebrity lunches carry on as they always have. Around them, a wider programme of formats is taking shape: acoustic evenings, wine tastings, live music, themed dinners. Twenty years of trust with the regulars. Twenty more in the making. This is the next chapter, and it is just getting started. Pass two What is coming next The new era is being built in public. Here is what is going up on the about page over the coming weeks, as the pieces land. Coming soon Meet the Team Bios and photos for Harry the GM, Tino the bar and restaurant manager, and Jeff the head chef. Up here once the photo shoot is done. Coming soon Floor Plan A drawn-up plan of the basement showing the dining floor, the bar, and the stage area at the back. Useful if you are sizing up a private hire or planning a route around the room. Coming soon On Tap and By the Bottle Hawkstone leads the list, the rest is being confirmed. Updated as the bar specs settle for the year. Coming soon Gallery Real nights, real photos. Sourced straight from Facebook and Instagram. The unedited version of what Steam looks like when it is full. Why the City, why this basement Steam sits in the insurance heartland. Within a five minute walk of the door you have the syndicate rooms of Lloyd’s, the reinsurance desks that cover every natural disaster in the Western Hemisphere, and the quiet senior brokers who decide whether a particular hurricane lands on a particular balance sheet. Twenty years on, the basement is fuller than it has been in years. The format has not changed. The programme around it has. That is the crowd we have built for, and the crowd that has kept coming back for two decades. The celebrity lunches work in EC3 because there is an audience here that actually wants to listen to the speakers. The wine club nights work because there is a regulars list that knows the difference between a fine pour and a fashionable one. The live music evenings work because the same people who book the lunches also want somewhere to be on the way home. Steam is not the loudest bar in the City. It is not the newest. It is the one with the speakers the newer bars cannot book, the wine list they cannot match, and the twenty year memory of how to run a proper afternoon for people who know the difference. The next chapter is on. ============================================================================== PAGE: Christmas 2026 URL: https://steamwinebar.com/christmas-2026 SUMMARY: Christmas parties, December 2026. ============================================================================== Home Upcoming Events Sir AP McCoy, 27 Nov Mike Tindall, 9 Oct Eddie the Eagle, 23 Oct Steam Wine Club Live music for private events Steam Quiz Quiz Packages Christmas 2026 Speakers Archive Our Spaces Private Hire Corporate Events About Book / Enquire Christmas at Steam Christmas at Steam, 2026 Christmas in the City is busier with the people you actually want to see.

Born in County Antrim in 1974, he was crowned Champion Jockey in twenty consecutive seasons from 1995-96 to 2014-15, a record that may never be approached. He rode 4,358 winners over jumps, more than any rider before him, and his 289 winners in the 2001-02 season remains the benchmark for a single campaign. His major victories include the 2010 Grand National on Don’t Push It, two Cheltenham Gold Cups on Mr Mulligan and Synchronised, and three Champion Hurdles. In 2010 he became the first jockey to be voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year, and he was knighted in 2016 for services to horse racing.

About Eddie the Eagle Michael Edwards, known to the world as Eddie the Eagle, became one of Britain’s best-loved sporting figures at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, where he was the first athlete to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping. A plasterer from Cheltenham who funded his own training, he finished last in both the 70 metre and 90 metre events, yet his fearlessness and good humour made him the story of the Games and a household name around the world. He held the British ski jumping record for years after Calgary and his journey from building sites to the Olympic tower inspired the 2016 feature film Eddie the Eagle, starring Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman. Now an in-demand motivational speaker, he tells one of the great underdog stories in British sport with the same warmth that won over Calgary.

The fair version, written so you can actually read it. Last updated: 9 April 2026 Effective from: 9 April 2026 Data controller: Steam Wine Bar Ltd 1. Who we are and what these terms cover These terms and conditions apply to all bookings made with Steam Wine Bar Ltd (“Steam Wine Bar”, “we”, “us”), trading from 1 St George’s Lane, London, EC3R 8DJ. By booking a place at any of our events, or hiring the venue, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms. If you have any questions before you book, please contact us at events@steamwinebar.com or 020 7929 0819. We would always rather have a five minute conversation in advance than a misunderstanding on the day. 2. How to book You can book through any event page on this website, by emailing us, or by phoning us during opening hours. A booking is only confirmed once we have received either full payment or a deposit, and you have received a confirmation email from events@steamwinebar.com . If you have not received a confirmation email within an hour of booking, please contact us. The most common reason for a missing confirmation is a typo in the email address provided. 3. Pricing, deposits, and payment Prices are shown per place on each event page. All prices include VAT at the prevailing UK rate. Pay in full or pay a deposit You can secure your places in one of two ways: Pay in full at the time of booking. Nothing else is owed before the event. Pay a deposit of £25 per person at the time of booking. The remaining balance becomes due 14 calendar days before the event date. Balance due 14 days before the event If you have paid a deposit, the balance must be settled no later than 14 calendar days before the event. We will send you a reminder email seven days before the balance is due, and again on the day it is due. Bookings with an outstanding balance after the deadline may be released without further notice. Payment methods We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, our secure payment processor. We can also accept bank transfer for larger group bookings on request. We do not accept cheques or American Express in person. 4. Cancellations and refunds We understand that plans change. Our cancellation policy aims to be fair to both you and to us, given that we plan staffing, catering, and speaker fees in advance. When you cancel What happens More than 14 days before the event Full refund of any amount you have paid, minus a non-refundable £25 per person deposit which we use to cover administration and lost availability. 14 days or fewer before the event No refund is available. Both deposits and any balance already paid become non-refundable. We may at our discretion offer a credit toward a future event of equivalent value, but this is not guaranteed. On the day of the event, or no-show No refund and no credit. If you wish to cancel, please email events@steamwinebar.com as early as possible. Your cancellation takes effect on the date we receive your email, not the date you sent it. Reducing party size If you reduce the size of your party more than 14 days before the event, we will refund you for the dropped places minus the £25 per person deposit. Reductions made within 14 days of the event are non-refundable. If we have to cancel In the rare event that Steam Wine Bar has to cancel an event for any reason, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer either a full refund of all amounts paid, or a transfer to a future event of equivalent value, at your choice. 5. Force majeure Neither party is liable for failure to perform their obligations under these terms where the failure is caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including extreme weather, fire, public health emergencies, government restrictions, industrial action, supply chain failure, or the unavailability of a guest speaker due to illness or accident. In such circumstances we will work with you in good faith to reschedule, transfer, or refund, and any non-refundability clauses in section 4 do not apply. 6. Behaviour and dress Steam Wine Bar is a venue intended for adult guests in a relaxed, civilised setting. We reserve the right to refuse entry, or to ask any guest to leave, if their behaviour is judged by our staff to be threatening, abusive, persistently disruptive, or unsafe to other guests or the team. Refunds are not provided in these circumstances. The dress code for most events is smart, with a few evenings being smart casual. The specific code is shown on each event page. 7. Age policy Steam Wine Bar is a licensed premises. All ticketed events are intended for guests aged 18 and over, and our staff may ask for proof of age in line with the Challenge 25 policy. We accept passport, photo driving licence, or PASS-accredited ID. 8. Allergens and dietary requirements Please tell us about any allergens or dietary requirements at the time of booking, or at the latest seven days before the event. We will do everything we reasonably can to accommodate, including substitution where possible, but we operate a kitchen that handles all the major allergens and we cannot guarantee a fully allergen-free environment. Guests with severe allergies should always speak to a member of the team on arrival. 9. Photography and recording We occasionally photograph events for marketing purposes, including for our website, newsletter, and social media. If you do not wish to appear in any photograph, please let a member of staff know on arrival and we will respect that. Guests are welcome to take their own photographs but should be considerate of other guests and of any speaker. 10. Liability Steam Wine Bar accepts liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and for any other liability that cannot be limited under English law. Subject to that, our total liability to you for any single event booking is limited to the total amount you paid us for that booking. We are not responsible for personal property left at the venue. Coats and bags are left at the owner’s risk. 11. Changes to these terms We may update these terms from time to time. The version that applies to your booking is the version published on this page on the date you made your booking. Significant changes will be notified to active customers by email. 12. Governing law These terms and any dispute arising under them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
