Peterhouse is the oldest of the Cambridge Colleges, founded in 1284, located within easy walking distance of the City centre. The dining areas (Hall, Combination Room, Henry Cavendish Room and Upper Hall) are all located off Old Court in the heart of the College. Hall The dining hall at Peterhouse was completed in 1290 and, in continuous use by Fellows and students for over 700 years, is the oldest collegiate building in Cambridge, making it a unique venue for all occasions. While the structure is medieval, the interior was redesigned in the late 19th century, with dark panelling and Masters’ portraits, a minstrel’s gallery and William Morris stained glass, stencilling and tiles combining to create a dramatic back-drop for grand dinners. We ask for a minimum number of 60 people for lunch or dinner in the Hall, and can seat up to 110 people. Combination Room This is a fully panelled room, with stained glass by Burne-Jones and Morris tiles framing the open fireplaces. Adjoining the Hall and Fellows’ Garden, the Combination Room is available only by special permission of the Fellows for the most exclusive dinners and champagne receptions. We ask for a minimum number of 20 people for dinner in the Combination Room, and can seat up to 60 people. There is a £250 facility fee for use of the Combination Room. Henry Cavendish Room This panelled Georgian room, beautifully furnished with antiques, was formerly part of a Fellow’s ‘set’ and is named after Henry Cavendish, a Petrean scientist credited with having discovered hydrogen and calculated the mass of the Earth in the 18th century. It provides an intimate and stylish setting for small lunches and dinners. We ask for a minimum number of 8 people for lunch or dinner in the Henry Cavendish Room, and can seat up to 16 people. Upper Hall The Upper Hall is an attractive, part-panelled room which overlooks Old Court to one side and the Deer Park to the other. This flexible space lends itself to dinners, lunches, buffets and drinks receptions for smaller groups. We ask for a minimum number of 20 people for lunch or dinner in the Upper Hall, and can seat up to 46 people.

Full details including the history of Peterhouse, the facilities available and photographs of each

dining room can be found on our website, via the following link: http://www.peterhouse-conferences.co.uk/

Peterhouse is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment. The key points of our strategy to achieve this are:

o To support the local community and where possible employ services of local trades.

o To minimise waste by evaluating procedures and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.

o To actively promote recycling both internally and amongst suppliers.

o To meet or exceed all environmental legislation that relates to the College.

Terms and Conditions and Booking Form

Please complete and return this form when confirming your booking

Introduction

(A) Peterhouse has created a wholly owned trading subsidiary (Peterhouse Conferences and Events Limited) to

manage its conference and events activity in order to ensure that Peterhouse only carries out activities which are

consistent with its charitable status. This should not result in any change to the quality or location of service to the

Client. However, this will mean that the default position will be that the Client will contract and deal with Peterhouse

Conferences and Events Limited rather than Peterhouse.

(B) However, if the Client is an ‘eligible body’ able to make the required declaration regarding the function it wishes

to hold, the Client may complete in full and return the attached VAT declaration (as discussed below), together with

the attached written request to Peterhouse. If the declaration is accepted, the booking will be with Peterhouse and a

VAT exempt invoice can be issued.

Terms and Conditions

In these Terms and Conditions “PCEL" shall mean Peterhouse Conferences and Events Limited (Company No.

9106185) of The Bursary, Peterhouse, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1RD. “M&FP” shall mean The Master

(or Keeper) and Fellows of Peterhouse in the University of Cambridge. Reference to "The College" (which shall also

be referred to as “we” and “our”) shall mean PCEL unless a fully completed VAT exemption form is returned and in

addition it is confirmed in advance to the client by M&FP that the contract shall be between the Client and M&FP. In

those cases (where the contract shall be between the Client and M&FP) "the College" shall mean M&FP. In these

Terms and Conditions “the Premises" shall mean Peterhouse, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1RD.

All bookings must be confirmed in writing by letter or email.

We ask for the following minimum numbers for lunch/dinner: Hall – 60 people, Combination Room – 20 people,

Upper Hall – 20 people and Henry Cavendish Room – 8 people.

The College reserves the right to make any reasonable alterations to the facilities booked. In the case of alternative

facilities being provided, the College will make every effort to meet the requirements of the client.

Organisers are asked to select the same menu for their entire group, except in the case of special dietary meals.

Preliminary details regarding menu and wine selections and other information relating to the booking must be

indicated in writing, preferably in the letter of confirmation. The letter of confirmation should, where possible, reach

the Catering Manager or Conference Co-ordinator three weeks prior to the date of the booking.

The prices quoted in this document are applicable for the period stated on the header page. Prices are reviewed

annually, and it is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they have the most current price list.

Final numbers and full details of special dietary requirements must be confirmed to the Catering Manager seven days

prior to the date of the booking. The final invoice will be based on the numbers submitted at this stage.

College policy prohibits clients from providing any externally prepared or purchased food or drinks into any dining

or meeting areas of the College. The only exception to this is for celebratory cakes from an approved commercial

supplier, which may only be served if the supplier provides a full ingredient list, highlighting allergens present in the

product.

Dinners may commence at 19:30 or 20:00, with pre-dinner drinks at 19:00 or 19:30. Charges may apply if overtime

is incurred by staff preparing and serving outside these times. Guests are required to vacate the Premises by 23:00.

The Premises are entirely non-smoking; this includes all internal and external areas.

Because of the close proximity of the Premises to residential areas, it is regretted that amplified music or discos will

not be permitted. The College is happy, however, to allow guests to arrange for string quartets and the like to

complement their event.

Formal table plans and seating cards are the responsibility of the function organiser. The Catering Manager will be

pleased to supply the organiser with a pro-forma table plan for the relevant dining room. The Catering Manager will

require a copy of any table plan three working days prior to the date of the booking.

Page 15: Peterhouse Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1RD · Included within the cost per head are linen napkins, menu cards, silver plate cutlery, candlesticks and candles, filtered water,

Please be aware that none of our dining rooms have integral PA systems; if you feel that your event will require the

use of a PA system please ask either the Catering Manager or the Conference Co-ordinator about availability and the

additional cost of hiring a suitable PA system.

It may be possible for lunch and dinner functions to hire the use of the College silver (candlesticks and table

decorations). If you think that this would be suitable for your event please feel free to talk to the Catering Manager.

The College makes every endeavour to identify and exclude ingredients which have the potential to cause allergic

reactions to those with food allergies, and whilst every effort is made to instruct our food production staff on the

severity of food allergies there is, however, always a risk of contamination. Customers concerned with food allergies

should be aware of this risk. The College cannot assume liability for adverse reactions to food consumed, or food

items one may come into contact with, while eating in the Premises. Those with food allergies are encouraged to

contact the Catering Manager for additional information and advice.

Whilst every effort will be made to supply the ingredients for each dish as published it may be necessary in

exceptional circumstances to substitute an ingredient for another as similar as possible.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all prices exclude VAT and the client must pay VAT in addition to all other

applicable fees. If the client considers that the provision of goods and / or services pursuant to this contract ought to

be exempt from VAT (on the basis of Group 6 of Schedule 9 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994), the client must

complete the attached VAT exemption form (setting out the basis for the application of that VAT exemption) and

send it to the College for review as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 10 days prior to the date of the

booking.

Payment terms are 30 days net after the date of the invoice. Overdue invoices will be charged interest at the rate of

4% per month.
