Cakes & Decorations

You’re welcome to bring a cake to mark your celebration.

  • If you’d like it served in place of dessert, there’s a £2.50 per person cake service charge.
  • If your guests are also enjoying dessert and would like the cake with tea or coffee, there is no additional charge.

Decorations are also welcome! We can arrange for you to drop items off ahead of time, or you’re welcome to come in early to decorate yourself. Please note: we do not allow table confetti, as it can damage the tables when wet.

Cancellations & Changes

  • Cancellations made within 7 days of your event will result in your deposit being retained.
  • For individual guest cancellations, please inform us by 10am on the day of your booking to avoid a £10 per person charge.
  • For pre-ordered groups, any reduction in numbers after 11:30am (lunch) or 5:30pm (dinner) will result in the full menu price being charged.
