Has anyone ever hired a function room above a pub

[cyb]

And provided their own booze as a welcome drink for guests? If so, did they charge you corkage? Or did they not let you provide your own in the first place?

Is this for your 80's party?

I've known of both. Depends on the pub I guess.

every time we have hired above a pub, the deal is that the drinks come from the bar.

I guess you could try to negotiate to buy some booze wholesale from the pub?

Hmm, the guy said they could provide champers £22 a sodding bottle. I would rather provide my own. There is a bar there too, so welcome drinks would be provided by me and then guests buy their own after that.

That sounds reasonable doesn;t it?

.

sounds reasonable - whether the landlord is, is another matter! He might feel peeved to be missing out on the £22 a pop (scuse the pun) Or he might just balance it against the money he'll take at the bar and be ok with it. you can only ask

no they provicded drinks
