Private Events FAQ
Answers to common questions about capacity, menu customisation, allergens, entertainment and practicalities for your event.
What capacities can you accommodate for private events?
We host a variety of event sizes, from intimate private dining for 8 guests through to larger corporate and social events. Capacity depends on your preferred layout and whether you would like seated dining, cocktail-style service or a combination of both. Share your approximate numbers when you enquire and we will propose the most suitable spaces.
Can menus be customised for dietary needs and preferences?
Yes. Our chef will work with you to design a menu that respects all dietary requirements, cultural considerations and preferences. We can provide refined options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other specific needs, while ensuring every guest enjoys a cohesive, elevated experience.
How do your poker evenings work for private groups?
Private poker evenings are offered as optional, in-person entertainment for your group. A professional host guides live games at the table, with formats tailored to your guests' experience levels. Poker is purely recreational and social, designed to complement your dining event rather than act as a gambling experience.
Is there parking available for private events?
We can advise on on-site and nearby parking options when you book, including recommended arrival points for chauffeured vehicles and rideshare services. Our team will also help coordinate clear arrival details for your guests.
How far in advance should we reserve a private event?
Availability varies by season and day of the week, but we recommend enquiring as early as possible for weekend and peak dates. Our concierge can often propose alternative dates or formats if your first choice is unavailable.
How do we begin planning our private event?
Start by submitting a brief overview of your event through our reservations page or contacting our team directly. We will respond with tailored suggestions, indicative pricing and the next steps to confirm your booking.
