An after-party after business entertaining works best when it holds the tone of the dinner while staying comfortable for your guest.
Settle the room, the access, the length of the stay and how the bill is paid in advance, and the evening runs itself.
Ask your guest what they would like
Whether they want a quiet drink, or karaoke and an activity, put their preference first.
Be mindful of anyone not drinking or who needs to leave early, and never press someone to come along.
Choose somewhere close to the restaurant
A venue you can walk to saves arranging taxis and waiting about. Check the route in the rain too.
Share the entrance, the building name and the booking name among the organisers.
Compare the room and how you will spend the time
To continue an important conversation, a fully private room; for a short drink, a counter or a semi-private booth also works.
Where there is golf, darts or karaoke, the conversation has somewhere to start.
- What your guest would like
- The distance from the restaurant
- A private room
- The expected finish time
Confirm the price and how the bill is settled
Confirm the total: the cover charge, the service charge, food and drink, and any room charge.
Tell the venue in advance about the name on the receipt, corporate cards, additional orders on the night, and the cancellation terms.

Frequently asked questions
Should a business after-party be in a private room?
Where an important conversation or privacy matters, a fully private room suits. Choose by the purpose.
What if the dinner's finish time is hard to predict?
Ask the venue how a late arrival is handled and how to get in touch, and set a start time with room to spare.
Does it work if the client does not play golf?
At a venue with a bar, karaoke and proper seating, there are other ways to spend the evening.
