Group Bookings
Bring the whole group: friends, clubs, travellers, family. We have a long table with your name on it.
If you're ten or more, we've built a handful of set menus that keep things simple without cutting corners. Pick one for the table, tell us who's coming, and leave the rest to us.
For groups of 30 or above we'll write something custom. Tell us what you like, what you don't, and how long you want to stay.
The details that make it ours.
