FAQs

I have tried to book above but I don’t see any availability for the time I would like.

If you are trying to book a time when the kitchen is open, this most likely means we are fully booked. We keep half of the restaurant open for walk ins. And if the garden is open for food that is a walk in service also. You can check our normal kitchen opening times below. If the kitchen is closed for another reason we will have a banner saying so at the top of this page.

I would like to book for Sunday Lunch.

We do not take bookings for Sunday Lunch, it is a walk in service only. This is due to how busy we are and the way we run the service so this is unfortunately non-negotiable. We recommend coming down as early as possible, people start queuing before 11:30 and the queue that is waiting when we open at 12pm will fill the pub. After which it is usually a wait for a table. We typically sell out of roasts before the advertised kitchen closing time. Sometimes at early as half 1 or 2pm!

Can I Buy a gift voucher for the pub?

We sell gift vouchers, however they are physical vouchers and hence can only be purchased in person at the pub. The gift vouchers come in denominations of £5, £20, £50 or a combination there off.

Can I Buy Food to take away?

We do not offer any kind of takeaway service. Our kitchen is very small for how busy and the size the pub is.

I would like to book a table for 10 or more people, how do I go about this?

Please email us. However, note that we are only about to offer large tables to book at certain times and days of the week. We are unable to book tables of 10 or more Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening. Also due to the high volume of walk ins we get every day, we are unable to hold a table for later booking, hence we are typically only able offer large bookings early evening slots Monday – Wednesday or weekday lunchtimes when we are open, providing we still have tables available.

I would like to drive to the pub, is there parking available

Unfortunately we do not have customer parking at the pub. Between 8am and 6:30pm the nearby streets operate a 2 hour, no return policy, however after 6:30pm most of the area goes to resident permit holders only. Make sure you check the parking restriction signs when parking up. The nearest council run car park is behind the Tesco on Cowley Road.

Important! Are you looking to book and have tried booking above? If there is no availability for your desired time then we are fully booked. We keep tables open for walk ins.
