Quick answers

Frequently asked

Do I need to book to get in?

No — entrance is free and walk-ins are welcome. Book a table if you want guaranteed seating, especially on Saturdays and big event nights.

How do table bookings work?

Pick your night and table on the site, send it to WhatsApp, and the venue confirms in the chat. No deposits taken online.

Can I bring kids on a Sunday?

Sundays are the family session — there's space for kids and a proper lunch menu. Evenings shift to an adult crowd.

Do you do birthdays?

All the time. The Celebration package covers the bottle, sparklers, a host and cake service — or book a section for a bigger crew.

Is there parking?

Plenty, free, with car guards on duty.

Wheelchair access?

Guests have noted good wheelchair space. If you have specific access needs, WhatsApp ahead and the team will make a plan (venue to confirm details).

Lost something?

WhatsApp the venue with a description and the night you were in — the team keeps found items behind the bar.

Can I hire the venue?

Yes — sections, the terrace or the whole venue. See Private Events.
