Venue Atmosphere & Seating Overview

Industrial-luxe dining with every seat tuned to the grill

Deep charcoals, bold metallics, and a clear line of sight to the woodfired action.

The Card & Cleaver is designed as a contemporary smokehouse-meets-lounge space, where heavy industrial lines and ember-lit details frame every table. Expect deep matte charcoal surfaces, crisp metal trims, and the ambient glow of the open grill anchoring the room.

Business dinners, relaxed end-of-week catchups, and milestone celebrations all sit within the same precise grid of seating. Whether you book a banquette for a team, a corner table for two, or a long table for a lively group, your reservation guarantees a position within the heart of the culinary craft, never pushed to the sidelines.

For guests who prefer a slightly quieter setting, note this in your reservation and our team will select a table with softened grill-side acoustics while still keeping you connected to the theatre of service.

Booking Process Explained

Three straightforward steps to lock in your night

No friction, no queues, just a clear path from idea to confirmed table.

  1. Select date, time & guests

    Choose your preferred evening, seating time, and party size. Our system automatically aligns your request with live capacity across the dining room and Cleaver Room access windows where relevant.

  2. Share your details & preferences

    Provide contact details along with any occasion notes, accessibility requirements, or dietary flags. This allows our team to stage your arrival, table layout, and service pacing before you walk through the door.

  3. Receive instant, contactless confirmation

    Once submitted, you receive an immediate confirmation delivered digitally. This includes your booking summary, arrival guidance, and a secure link for any later changes or cancellations within our flexible policy window.

Behind the scenes, our reservation framework is built around punctual seating waves and realistic turnover times, protecting your start time and minimising any waiting on arrival.

Group Bookings & Functions

From intimate teams to full-floor functions

Structured layouts, dedicated coordination, and menu pathways for every scale.

Planning a board dinner, leadership offsite, or a lively celebration with the whole crew? Our seating zones allow us to carve out tailored spaces without losing the energy of the room. Smaller parties can lock in semi-private booths, while larger reservations can span structured table rows with clear sightlines and coordinated service.

For significant functions, our team collaborates with you on timings, menu formats, and beverage pacing. Pre-set menus, shared grill platters, or coursed experiences can all be organised ahead of time to keep the night running smoothly.

For complex events or venue-wide takeovers, start with a standard reservation and include function details in the notes, or connect with our Functions & Events team via the Events page or Contact Us for a tailored proposal.

Pre-Dinner Cleaver Room Access

Set the tone upstairs before the flames

Reserve time in The Cleaver Room for in-person card matches and focused social play.

The Cleaver Room is our intimate upstairs card lounge – a land-based, in-person space created for thoughtful matches, relaxed weekend tournaments, and conversation that runs deeper than small talk. Booked alongside your dinner reservation, it becomes the ideal pre-service warm-up or post-dessert wind-down.

When lodging your reservation, simply select the option to request Cleaver Room access and nominate whether you prefer a pre-dinner or late-evening session. Our team manages capacity carefully to preserve the calm, focused feel of the room.

For groups who want to weave card play into a function or team night, connect with us through the Lounge or Events pages to structure a combined dining and lounge experience.

Special Requests & Dietary Notes

Tell us what matters before you arrive

From allergies to acoustics, your notes optimise the entire evening.

Every reservation includes a dedicated field for special requests. Use this space to share food allergies, dietary requirements, mobility needs, or the nature of your occasion. The more detail you provide, the more precisely we can stage your service and menu recommendations.

Common requests include:

  • Allergy handling for gluten, nuts, dairy, or shellfish
  • Preference for quieter corners or proximity to the open grill
  • Highchairs or space for prams for young diners within appropriate sittings
  • Noting birthdays, anniversaries, or corporate hosting for subtle recognition

While we cannot guarantee every preference, our team reviews each note before service to ensure your table setup, pacing, and recommendations align with your expectations.

Contactless Confirmation & Reminders

Stay fully informed from booking to arrival

Digital confirmations keep everything at your fingertips.

Once your reservation is submitted, you will receive an instant confirmation containing your booking details, arrival time, and location notes. This confirmation is delivered in a fully contactless format, ensuring you can access it from any device without printing.

Ahead of your visit, a reminder is automatically issued to help coordinate your travel time and party. If adjustments are required, the same message includes a secure link to manage your booking without needing to call during service.

This system reduces friction for both you and our team, ensuring we focus more time on hospitality and less on manual coordination.
