FAQS

MAKING A BOOKING  

How do I book?  

Bookings are managed exclusively online for up to 10 people. You can book for up to 3 months in advance via this link. Due to card details being required to secure your booking, we cannot accept reservations over the phone or via email.  

What about bookings for large parties?  

The maximum party size that we can accommodate – outside of a private hire – is a group of 10 guests. Please note, we only have availability for large parties in the early evening and we cannot accommodate requests for separate bookings to be seated together.   

I can’t see availability for the date I want.  

We have some walk-in space on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once all the spaces are full, we run a virtual queue. Kindly note that the waitlist can take up to 3 hours during peak times and we are usually unable to accommodate large groups of walk-ins.
