Frequently Asked Questions


Do you take last minute bookings?

We do, please do call us on 01245231800 and one of our team members will be delighted to help you.


Is there parking available - and how much?

There is plenty of parking available, and cars can be left overnight, as long as they are collected by 10.30 am the next day.


Does the venue have disabled access - including disabled bathroom facilities?

Step-free access to the venue which is all at ground-floor level. Disabled toilet facilities provided.

What facilities do you have in the kitchen?

The Room in the Rodings has a fully equipped catering kitchen with gas ovens and hobs. Caterers will need to supply their own refrigeration and take all food waste away at the end of service.

Are all the outside spaces included in the venue hire price?

They are! So many great spots for photos.

How do we book a Registrar for our ceremony?

Please contact Essex Registration Services.

What does ‘no corkage’ mean?

We allow you to bring in all your own wine, champagne, prosecco and soft drinks for the daytime part of your function and we don’t charge you to do so (most venues do!)

From 7.00 pm, any alcohol you have brought in, will be stored away for you to collect the next day, and we open a fully staffed bar. Or you can have the bar open all day at no additional cost.

What happens if we have to cancel our event?

It is always sad when any event is cancelled. If a new date can’t be found then we release your date but the deposit paid is non refundable.
