ARRIVING AT THE VENUE

BOOKINGS
HOW DO I BOOK?
Group of up to 20 can book online and will be automatically confirmed if we have the space. If you can’t see any space it is likely that we are fully booked, however we may be able to take walk-ins so please visit us. Bookings are open 3 months in advance.
BOOKING TERMS
To secure a booking on busy nights and large groups we do ask for card details in advance of the reservation. At the time of making the booking, your card will be authenticated for the amount of £10 per person. We do not charge your card to book, we simply take the information in case of a no show and/or failure to cancel before our 48h cancellation period.
IF I NEED TO CANCEL A BOOKING WILL I GET CHARGED?
If your booking is for 1-5 you can cancel online and you will not be charged. If your booking with us is for 6 diners or larger our cancellation period is 48hrs and we reserve the right to charge the cancellation fee if the booking is cancelled within this time period.
This may change over holiday or special occasion periods such as Christmas or boozy brunch bookings - so please make sure you check the individual terms and conditions when booking.
TABLE ALLOCATION
While we always do our very best to fulfil our guests’ requests, all tables are allocated on arrival and can’t be guaranteed in advance. Due to layouts of our venues group bookings of 10 diners and over might be split across 2 or more tables allocated next to each other.
I’M RUNNING LATE, WHAT DO I DO?
Will always try to hold all tables for 15 minutes past the reservation time, however this isn't always possible so there's no gurantee.
We ask that ALL of your party arrives within the 15-minute window of your allocated reservation time. We will do our best to seat late comers but cannot guarantee that this will be possible.
GROUP EVENTS
Groups of 20+ should enquire through the enquiry form. One of the team will be in touch – our crew is available to assist Monday to Friday 9-5pm.

ALLERGIES
Please do let us know in advance if you or any of your crew has any special dietary requirements and we will try our best to accommodate those. Please note; we can’t guarantee any of our products are suitable for those with allergies due to a high risk of cross-contamination. Check out our allergen guide for more information.
DO YOU HAVE ANY NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION?
We don't currently have calorie labelling or nutritional information on our dishes as this rule applies to companies that are larger than ours. This is indulgent comfort food and is a treat! Treat it as such.
DECORATIONS, CAKES
We place a lot of effort on our décor and food therefore if you are celebrating a special occasion we kindly request holding back on bringing balloons & decorations onto the premises. We are not able to supply birthday cakes, and cannot handle store bought or homemade cakes due to cross contamination risks.
