A few useful details

Before you join us

Booking and securing your table

Book directly by email or telephone. We will need your name, mobile number, email address, party size and preferred time. Tell us about dietary requirements and any baby or highchair needs.

We will text you a link to add your card details. Complete it within 48 hours of the booking being made, or your provisional reservation will be released. For bookings made within 48 hours of arrival, complete the card link immediately to secure your table. No deposit is normally required; advance payment can be arranged on request. We will confirm your exact card-guarantee deadline directly. Please use the secure link rather than emailing card details.

Children, babies and highchairs

Children are welcome and pay £110 for the same menu and portions. Babies who are not eating are not charged.

We have two highchairs, which can only be used at suitable tables. Please arrange baby and highchair places when booking. Prams must fold down.

Menu choices and dietary requirements

Most guests can choose on the day. For parties of nine or more, please send your pre-order 10 days before your visit, with final choices due no later than five days before. For Christmas Day, please send choices by 15 December and finalise them by 20 December.

Vegan and gluten-free choices are available. Please tell us when booking if you need a dish that is both vegan and gluten-free, or have other dietary requirements, so we can discuss suitable dishes and shared accompaniments with the chef. Please aim to arrange bespoke dishes 10 days beforehand and finalise arrangements no later than five days before. The Christmas Wellington is vegan but is not gluten-free.

If we accept your booking after the pre-order deadline, we will arrange your menu choices and dietary requirements immediately.

Arrival time and late arrivals

Please aim to arrive within five minutes of your booked time. We may not be able to seat you early. If you are delayed, please call us.

We will do our best to help, but may still need your table back at the agreed time. A substantial delay may reduce your dining time and the courses we can serve.

Changes and cancellations

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change the time or number of guests. Changes depend on availability. Reductions in guest numbers with notice will be reviewed individually. Guests who do not attend on the day remain subject to the agreed cancellation policy.

Notice before arrivalPer cancelled guest
More than 10 daysNo charge
More than 5 days, up to 10 daysUp to £55

Any charge will reflect the loss reasonably incurred, allowing for costs saved and the table being rebooked. Any advance payment will be credited against the amount due. Cancellation charges exclude discretionary service. We will confirm the exact cancellation deadlines with your reservation.

Wine, Champagne and other drinks

Your welcome Cava or alcohol-free bubbles are included. Further drinks are purchased separately. If you would like to pre-order Champagne, wine or a special bottle, ask us for the list and prices. We can arrange advance purchase at an agreed price.

Dogs, dress and finding us

Dogs are welcome. There is no dress code: wear what makes the occasion feel right for you.
