CLEANING AND VACATING THE PREMISES

• If you require the hall to be cleaned for you at the end of your function, there is an option to pay for this in cash on the day of your function, directly to the caretaker. This is recommended for late night functions. You will only be required to collapse the tables, stack the chairs and remove any food and drink items and deposit in the skip. The caretaker can then wipe clean all surfaces, hoover and sweep the premises. If not taking up this option, please ensure that you leave the hall exactly as you found it and be ready to leave at the time shown on the booking form.

• An extra cleaning fee will be taken from your deposit should the caretaker find the hall in an unacceptable condition - there will be no option to have extra time to clean at the end of functions so please ensure all your guests are aware of this.

• Any complaints from either hirers or caretakers will be fully investigated by the committee and their decision will be final and binding. We suggest photographic evidence to be helpful in this regard.

• Any tables and chairs used need to be wiped down and returned to their original storage places, the floor swept and the carpet hoovered.

• Please place any rubbish in black bags, secure and deposit in the skip provided in the car park.

• Please take your recycling bags home with you.

• Regarding alcohol – You are welcome to serve alcohol. A licence is only required if the alcohol is being sold – see Spelthorne Borough Council website for a temporary event notice.

• No smoking is permitted inside the premises – please use the car park area, not the front steps.

• No candles, other than on a cake, are permitted.

• All music must be turned off and the hall cleaned and vacated strictly on time – please leave quietly as we are close to residential properties.

• Contact on the day of your function Jo White 07706 145740

• Enjoy your function – please park with consideration for others.
