FAQ for Large Parties

1. How long will my large party booking be?

2. Can I extend my booking?
We can’t extend the booking times, however, we assure that three hours is a suitable time frame for large parties bookings.

3. Do I need to pay a deposit to secure the booking?
Yes, a deposit is required within 24 hours of making your reservation. We request a £20 per person deposit, which will be deducted from your final bill on the night. You have up to 7 days to cancel or modify your booking; after this period, the deposit becomes non-refundable. Any no-shows on the day of the booking will incur a charge of £50 per person, which will be deducted from your deposit.

Yes, if you prefer a refund, please let us know, and we will process the refund after your booking.

Our kitchen closes at 10:00pm (9:00pm on Sundays). We are licensed to serve until 11:30pm, and all guests must vacate the premises by midnight.

6. Do you provide decorations, or can I decorate the table myself?
We do not provide in-house decorations, but you are welcome to bring small table decorations. Please note, depending on availability, we may not be able to accommodate decoration setup prior to the start of your booking if the area is still occupied by other guests.

7. Can I split the bill for my large party?
Unfortunately, we are unable to split the bill for large parties.

8. Can I order à la carte instead?
For large bookings, we offer set menus only (£75/£85/£95). Due to the structure of our kitchen operations, à la carte ordering is not available for large groups. However, we are happy to discuss any menu preferences or requests and will do our best to accommodate them.
