BOOKINGS:

  • Your booking will not be confirmed until you have paid any outstanding deposits. Your payable amount will be in your original event email.

​

  • Your deposit will be redeemed against your bill when you visit us.

  • If your plans change for whatever reason (hey, it happens!) - you can cancel or amend your booking via the guest portal here. If you cancel 24 hours or more in advance, we will automatically refund your deposit! If you cancel within 24 hours of your booking, or don't show up, you may not get your deposit back, and this is entirely at our own discretion.

  • If for any reason you are running late, please let us know, as we will only hold your table for 15 minutes.

​

  • Please note that unless otherwise stated, all booking slots are for 2 hours, and we run a policy of one booking per party per day. If you book multiple tables in an attempt to stay longer, we will keep the the second deposit and your second table will be cancelled. Obviously, if we are not busy, you are welcome to stay longer but this is at the managers discretion.
