Whilst "banqueting hall" is used in the PR material for the place in
question, what is actually on sale is the use of the building and some
very basic services. The patrons are expected to source food and
entertainment from third party contractors.
This is where the current tag setup is something of a mess. There are gaps in
the 'building' tag which get building=yes and some other tag ( 7000+ building=no
is interesting ;) ) but with some 4600 different tags for 'building' simply
adding banqueting_hall is probably perfectly valid as well.
Probably the right way to tag these type of operations is ...
landuse=commercial
building=commercial
amenity=hall - which is not listed under amenity, but is used
website=xxx - which will give the details (if we could access them from the map)
But it's all so inconsistent with other buildings?
There is amenity=banquet_hall used but personally I'd expect that to be
something more like a tourist attraction 'medieval banquet' venue running mainly
themed events? Something like http://www.lumleycastle.com/elizabethan-banquets/
but that is not detailed currently ;)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=146749#map=17/54.85361/-1.55454 -
actually that need s alot of tidying up to add missing detail.
The bottom line is "do we add the fine detail?" ... places like Lumley are a
hotel, restaurant, banqueting hall, and so on, so should there be tags for each?
If a hotel does not accept non-residents in it's restaurant then it's not tagged
... it's function room may be tagged as 'licensed for weddings' or just
receptions ... where do you stop :)
