Do I need to pay a deposit for a party booking?Yes. We ask for a £10 per person deposit for party bookings of 7+. Your booking is only confirmed once the deposit is paid. Larger bookings that require their own space may require a higher deposit or minimum spend, which we’ll confirm when you book.
-
Can I book without knowing final numbers?Yes, you can pay a deposit based on your current guest list to secure the booking, then add extra places later once your numbers are confirmed.
-
What happens if our group numbers change?We’re happy to adjust small changes of one or two up until 1pm on the day of your booking. For larger changes, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice (48 hours for groups of 10+).

What’s the biggest group size you can seat?We’ve got spaces for groups of up to 20 at one table, and larger groups across multiple tables or in private rooms, over one floor, or exclusive hire of the whole restaurant.

For larger parties requiring longer sittings or exclusive space, a minimum spend may be requested.
-

Can we order and pay for drinks separately?Yes. For dining parties, guests can order and pay for drinks at their table via QR codes. Orders go straight to the bar to keep things flowing smoothly.
-
Do you cater for allergies or dietary requirements?All our food is prepared on-site by our Thai kitchen team. We’re great with veggie, vegan and gluten-free diets as many dishes can be tailored, but we can’t guarantee the absence of allergens due to our very tiny kitchens' layouts and operations.
