Our shared table is set, and we’re looking forward to sharing a special evening with you. To help us plan our menu and ensure we have enough space, we encourage you to book your dinner in advance. We want to make sure everyone has a wonderful experience, and that we don’t have any empty seats or wasted ingredients.
If you need to cancel, please provide more than 24 hours’ notice. In this case, you can rebook for another date or receive a voucher. As a small business, we are sadly unable to offer refunds.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice mean we will have already ordered the fresh local ingredients for your meal. Therefore, we sadly cannot offer rebooking or refunds for late cancellations. You are, of course, very welcome to gift or sell your booking to a friend, just get in touch to let us know there’s been a change of plan.
The Josser wagon bar supports small, artisan makers and our curated wine list will be open throughout our dinner service for pre and dinner drinks. Delicious soft drinks will also be available for purchase.
