Good to know
A few things to know
How do I book?
Call, text or message us on Facebook with your date, time and party size. The team will check availability and confirm your booking directly. A message is an enquiry until we’ve confirmed your place.
When are you open?
We’re open Thursday to Saturday; see the opening hours above. Weekends book up quickly, so please book ahead. Private parties and special events can run at other times by arrangement.
Do you take deposits?
Deposits are taken to secure bookings. The supplied private booth deposit is £10 per person; special events may have their own arrangements. We’ll confirm the amount, payment details and cancellation terms with you before you book.
Can you accommodate dietary requirements?
Please tell us before your visit and speak with the team when ordering. Our preparation area is small, so we cannot guarantee no cross-contact. We’ll discuss your needs before confirming suitable options.
Can we book for a celebration?
Absolutely—tell us what you’re planning. For groups of 8–14, ask about the private cellar booth. Food, drinks and any extras are arranged with the team.
Is there step-free access?
Our building is historic and the private cellar is downstairs. Please call before booking to discuss access, seating and any mobility requirements so we can help you plan your visit.
What if our plans change?
Contact us as soon as you can. Cancellation and deposit terms will be agreed with you when booking; please ask the team for the terms that apply to your visit.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Weekends often sell out, especially Saturday evenings, and late September to June is our busiest time. The big Christmas dates go first.
Can I just pop in for a drink?
Of course, when there’s room. Tables are often fully booked at weekends, so call ahead if you’re coming specially.
Can we take leftovers home?
Yes. We’ll give you a bag for anything you can’t finish, and boxes are available too. There are usually leftovers.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. Call or message us and we’ll talk you through the options and how to collect your voucher. More about gifts and hampers.
