Bookings desk
“Book dinner, a seat at the tables, or both”
Dinner and the long room are booked separately, but you can ask for both in one message. Fill in the form below and we'll reply by email.
Before you ask
Two kinds of booking
A dinner booking holds a table in the dining room for the number of guests you give us. It's the one to make if you only want to eat, or if you want to eat before the long room opens. Dinner tables can be booked from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm.
You can book any night we're open, from Wednesday to Sunday. For Friday and Saturday we suggest asking at least a week ahead, and for the Sunday roast a few days is usually enough. In midweek you can often book on the same day, by phone or through the form.
A seat at the tables holds a place at roulette, blackjack or a poker table, or a place on the Friday or Saturday tournament list. You can ask for it in the same message, but it's a separate booking and we confirm it separately.
Groups of eight or more are better handled by phone. Ring +61 2 6552 7391 and Rachel will go through the diary with you, which is quicker than an exchange of emails. Please say whether you also want the long room, because we plan the seats at each table from the booking list. If you mention only dinner, we'll assume dinner only.
Booking form
Ask for a table
Tell us when you would like to come, how many of you there will be, and which part of the house you have in mind. We confirm every request by email.
Good to know
How booking works
- Requests are answered by email, usually within one working day. If you don't hear from us, ring +61 2 6552 7391 and Rachel will find your note.
- A table is held for fifteen minutes after the booked time. After that it goes to the next guest on the list.
- Please tell us if your plans change. A short call lets us offer the table to someone who is hoping for one.
- Seats at the tournaments are given in order of booking, and the list closes at 7:45 pm on the night.
- Tell us about allergies and special diets in the comment box. Lucy reads every one of them before service starts.
- Everyone in your party must be eighteen or over. There are no children's tables and no exceptions.
- If you're celebrating something, say so in the comment box. Lucy will bake to order, and Rachel will find the table with the best lamp.
