We take lunch, dinner & drinks bookings Monday to Saturday, and available for private hire on Sundays.  Some bookings may require a card authentication of £10 per person to secure the booking, depending on the group size, type of event or at peak times. No money is taken from your account with a pre-authorisation; money will only be claimed if your entire group fails to show for the reservation.  Tables are held for up to 15 minutes past your booking time, if you are running late or unable to join us, please let us know as soon as possible. 

Our range of spaces and booths make it the perfect Central London location for any event in all seasons and our famed Map Room is available for private hire. Get in touch if you are planning an event and our team will be pleased to discuss what we can do.  We love hosting weddings, birthdays, work events & meetings.  Exclusive venue hire is also available.  Get in touch with our dedicated events team and we will be happy to help you plan your event.

We are in walking distance from Temple tube station, and only a short distance from both the Embankment and Covent Garden stations.  Our nearest overground stations are Waterloo and Charing Cross and we are well-serviced by local bus routes.

We do not have any parking on site but there is limited street parking on neighbouring Essex Street. The nearest formal parking is at Holborn Gate, around a 10-minute walk away.

You are more than welcome to bring decorations for your event however, we ask that confetti, confetti filled balloons or streamers aren’t used due to the risk of damaging the tables.

Children are welcome in our restaurant area until 8pm when accompanied by adults.

We allow corkage at £25 per bottle for wines and £35 a bottle for sparkling wines.

Dogs are very welcome throughout our venue!

Due to a couple of stairs leading to our restaurant area and toilets, we are sadly not a fully accessible venue.
