"Scouty has become an essential part of our pre-production process. Finding the right location used to eat up hours, and not knowing the price upfront was a real pain. Now it's one of the easiest parts of the job. The platform is intuitive, the AI integration is super useful, the location library is genuinely impressive, and the team are always on hand if we need anything. Highly recommend it to any production company."

Top tips for booking hospitality & entertainment locations
Top Tip
Always confirm whether the venue will be operationally closed during your shoot. Hospitality spaces, restaurants, bars, hotels, often try to balance bookings with regular trade. If you need full exclusive access and a controlled environment, get that confirmed in writing before you commit.
Hospitality Location Checklist
- Exclusive hire vs. partial closure terms
- Kitchen and bar access if required for shoot
- Noise from adjacent areas or street traffic
- Furniture and fixture flexibility (can things be moved?)
- Delivery access for props, equipment, and catering
What to Consider When Hiring a Hospitality Space
Restaurants, bars, hotels, and private members clubs offer instant atmosphere, the kind that takes weeks to create on a set. But hospitality venues operate as businesses first, and shoots second. Here's how to navigate that dynamic and get the best out of the space.
Space and Layout Requirements
Consider how the space works for your specific shot list. Restaurant layouts are often optimised for covers, not camera angles, assess sight lines, background depth, and whether furniture can be repositioned. For hotel shoots, clarify which areas are included in the hire; lobbies, suites, and function rooms are often managed separately.
Technical Considerations
Hospitality lighting is designed for ambience, not production, it's typically warm, low, and impractical for most shoot requirements. Factor in your own lighting setup and check whether the venue's existing fixtures can be dimmed or switched off independently. Kitchen and bar areas often have extraction fans and refrigeration units that create constant background noise; assess carefully if sound matters.
Budget and Additional Costs
Day rates typically range from £600–£5,000 depending on venue type, location, and exclusivity. Factor in potential lost revenue contributions for venues closing to trade, minimum spend requirements, mandatory venue staff, and any restoration or deep cleaning fees that apply post-shoot.

FAQs
Scouty is a location marketplace connecting production companies, agencies, and brands with spaces available for film, photo, and creative shoots. Instead of going through a traditional location agency, you can browse, enquire, and book directly, with the same quality of spaces and a faster, more transparent process.
Traditional agencies charge significant finder fees and often take days to respond. On Scouty, you search and shortlist yourself, communicate directly with hosts, and only pay a service fee on booking. You get more control, more transparency, and faster turnaround, without compromising on quality or support.
Restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels, private members clubs, rooftop venues, event spaces, and private dining rooms. Whether you need a buzzy east London restaurant for a food campaign or a grand hotel lobby for a luxury fashion shoot, listings are filterable by style, size, location, and facilities.
Many hosts are flexible about repositioning furniture to suit your shoot, but always ask in advance rather than assuming on the day. If your shot list requires significant restyling, flag this during enquiry so the host can confirm what's possible and whether any restoration conditions apply.
This varies by listing. Some venues offer full exclusive hire, while others may accommodate shoots during quieter trading hours with partial access. If your production requires a controlled, interruption-free environment, specify exclusive hire clearly in your enquiry and confirm it before booking.
Not automatically. Kitchen and bar access is often a separate arrangement and may involve venue staff being present throughout the shoot. If your brief requires working kitchen or bar areas, for food styling, drinks campaigns, or set dressing, raise it explicitly in your enquiry to confirm what's available and at what cost.
