Can I bring external catering?
Yes – while we love to provide catering through Grant’s Coffee House, we’re also completely happy for you to bring in your own external food if you prefer. Once you’ve hired the room, we see it as your private space for the day — so you’re welcome to source catering from elsewhere
How do I access my meeting room / check in?
Arrive at Gran T Coffee House on the ground floor (54–58 Great Ancoats Street) and provide your booking name to a member of our barista team. They will direct you to your room and outline the refreshments process.
What time can I access the room?
You can access your room from the exact start time of your booking. As our rooms are often booked back-to-back, we’re only able to offer access during the hours paid for.
If you’ve booked the room for a full day, or if the space happens to be free beforehand, we may be able to arrange a little early setup, just let us know in advance.
Can I rearrange the furniture?
Absolutely! The Taylor Room can be set up in boardroom, conference, workshop, or classroom layouts, or we can remove all tables for a more open event space. As capacity changes depending on the setup, feel free to reach out via chat or email us at info@themeetingrooms.co.uk. With any customisations to a rooms covers or layout this will be reflected in a customised price that will be discussed along with your changes requested.
Do you allow hybrid/Zoom setups?
While we don’t provide dial-in equipment, we do have up to 65-inch screens that guests regularly use for Zoom and hybrid meetings.
Is parking included?
No, parking isn’t included. However, there are several paid parking options nearby—simply search M4 5AB in the NCP or CitiPark finders.
Closest train station?
Piccadilly and Victoria train stations are each about a 10-minute walk from our location.
Are the rooms accessible?
Unfortunately, no. As the building is older, there is no lift, and all rooms are accessible via a flight of stairs.
Do you offer half-day or hourly rates?
Yes. We offer hourly, half-day, and full-day booking options. These can all be selected directly when booking online. For anything bespoke, feel free to get in touch.
