Booking Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: August 2026

These Terms & Conditions apply to all bookings made with Raise the Bar Glasgow ("we", "our", "us"). By paying your booking deposit and proceeding with a booking, you ("the Customer") confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms & Conditions.

1. Booking Requests

Submitting a booking through our website constitutes a booking request and does not automatically confirm your booking.

A £50 booking deposit is required to submit your booking request.

Once your deposit has been received, we will contact you within 48 hours to confirm availability.

If your booking is accepted, we will:

  • Confirm your booking.
  • Reserve your chosen date and time.
  • Issue an invoice for the remaining balance.

If we are unable to accommodate your booking, your £50 deposit will be refunded in full, or transferred to another available date if you prefer.

2. Minimum Booking Value

A minimum booking value of £400 applies to all bookings.

This minimum spend excludes any applicable travel charges.

Travel charges are calculated separately and do not contribute towards the £400 minimum booking value.

3. Payment Terms

Once your booking has been confirmed, an invoice for the remaining balance will be issued.

Payment of the outstanding balance is due within 14 calendar days from the invoice date.

If your event takes place before the end of the 14-day payment period, the outstanding balance must be paid in full no later than 72 hours before your event.

This allows us sufficient time to purchase stock, prepare ingredients, allocate staff and finalise preparations.

Failure to pay by the required deadline may result in:

  • Cancellation of your booking.
  • Loss of your £50 booking deposit.
  • Your event date being released for other customers.

Raise the Bar Glasgow reserves the right to refuse to provide services where payment has not been received in full before the required deadline.

4. Booking Deposit

A non-refundable £50 booking deposit is required for every booking, subject to your statutory consumer rights.

Your deposit allows us to process your booking request and reserve your preferred event date while availability is confirmed.

If Raise the Bar Glasgow is unable to provide the requested service, your deposit will be refunded in full or transferred to another agreed date.

5. Cancellations

Should you need to cancel your booking, please notify Raise the Bar Glasgow as soon as possible by email or telephone.

Booking Deposit

The £50 booking deposit is non-refundable, subject to your statutory consumer rights.

Where possible, and at our discretion, your deposit may be transferred to another event date, subject to availability.

Cancellation After Full Payment

Once your final invoice has been paid, all payments made are non-refundable, subject to your statutory consumer rights.

However, if you need to cancel your event, we will transfer the full amount paid, including your booking deposit, to a new event date, subject to the following conditions:

  • The new event date must be agreed with Raise the Bar Glasgow.
  • The new booking is subject to availability.
  • The new event must take place within 12 months of the original booking date.
  • Any increase in package price, travel costs or additional services will be payable by the customer.
  • If the value of the new booking is lower than the original booking, no refund or credit will be issued for the difference.

Late Cancellations

As our services are bespoke and prepared specifically for your event, bookings cancelled within 48 hours of the event remain non-refundable.

This is because stock will have been purchased, ingredients prepared, menus printed and staff allocated specifically for your event.

Where operationally possible, we will endeavour to transfer your booking to another available date, however this cannot be guaranteed.

Where possible, we will do our best to accommodate amendments.
