Book your table
Pick your venue, your package and your date, and you'll have a confirmation in your inbox in a couple of minutes.
Booking for a bigger group? Over a site's limit the widget stops offering times, so every slot looks unavailable. That's expected — send an enquiry and the venue team will put it together for you.
Start a Christmas enquiryWidget won't take your numbers?
Then your group is over that site's limit, and it becomes a proper party booking rather than a table. Nothing's gone wrong — tell us what you have in mind and the venue team will come back to you within one working day.

Good to know
At least 36 hours. We can't take Christmas package bookings on the day, because the kitchen orders in for them.
Yes, every burger is pre-ordered, so the kitchen and the team are prepped and ready for you on the day. Once the pre-order menu opens you'll get an email from LiveRes, our booking system, asking for your choices.
Tell us on the booking. The package is priced per person on the festive menu, so if part of your group is only coming for the games, say so and the team will work out the right shape for you.
Every burger has a vegetarian and vegan alternative and the roasties are vegan as standard. Put your requirements in the booking notes and the kitchen will have them in front of them on the day.
You can always walk in for games and the normal menu. The Christmas packages need booking ahead so the kitchen and the crackers are ready for you.
