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.

Each set menu caps out at 50 guests. If your group is bigger than that, talk to our team: tell us what you like, what you don't, and how long you want to stay.
