Bar information 

♥How do I book the bar?

You can book to hire the bar at the same time as hiring the main hall. Simply add how many hours of the bar you require and add the hours to the comments. We understand that you may not require the bar when setting up and cleaning down, so no need to add the hours on for these times.

♥What drinks do you have?

We have a wide variety of drinks available; lager, ale, wines, Prosecco, spirits and mixers in a can, ciders, J20’s and other soft drinks.

♥Do you have draught beer?

We do have lager on draught however this is not always available and depends on size of party and how many bar opening we have that week. If draught lager is not available, we will have bottle/canned lager.

If you have a specific request then please get in touch at least 4 weeks before your party and we can see what we can do. No guarantees!

♥Do you check ID?

Absolutely! We follow the check 25 ID check, so if you are lucky enough to look under 25 then please make sure you have your ID ready. We will then issue you with an ‘over 18’ wrist band to wear for the duration of the party.

Other Questions

♥Why do you have a barrier?

We implemented a barrier following the Section 106 that confirmed a barrier was needed for the car park to the community centre. This also ensures the centre users have sufficient space to park for their event.

♥Who runs the community centre?

The Community Centre is run by Trustees and committee members who all live on the Staynor Hall development. We are a small group and will always welcome anybody who wishes to come and help us out with running the centre and the events we run. Please get in touch for more information.

♥Can I hire the garden?

You can use the garden when hiring the main hall. There is a separate door to the garden. Unfortunately we do not have any garden furniture at the moment but watch this space! We also cannot guarantee that the lawn will have been mowed before your event due to availability of the gardener and the good old British weather.
