Party and group bookings

As in a Bombay permit room, crowds are welcome. Friends, families, colleagues – the more the merrier.

Our lunch and dinner Party Spread Menus are perfect for tables of 6+. A feast of favourites for everyone to share. Picky-snacky-crispy savouries. Hearty-for-your-party Ruby Murrays. Icy-creamy sweet things. No need to think ahead. Everyone can choose Non-Veg., Veg. or Vegan options when they arrive, but you’re welcome to get in touch, before you turn up, too.

Kick-start the day with a Breakfast Menu jam-packed with tasty dishes. Order your own or select a mix for your gathering to dig into. Freshly baked Naan Rolls. Nicely spiced fry-ups. Bottomless porridge. A bunch of light-bites. To wash it down – think hot chai, fresh juice and best Bloody Marys.

Make a booking

For big groups, it’s worth booking in advance. You and your party will be spread across a few tables that are pretty close together, in one happy-go-lucky section.

For parties of 12+ we ask for a £50 deposit for the table, which we take off the final bill. If you need to cancel for any reason, give us a shout 24 hours before your booking and we’ll happily refund your deposit.

Joining us in permit room

Can we bring a birthday cake?

Definitely! Just bring it with you on the day. We’re a bit tight on storage space, so we can’t look after any cakes before a booking.

Can I order from the main menu?

For bookings of 12+, we ask guests to order from our Party Spread Menus. Our best dishes that really pack a punch are served together as part of a feast (with Non-Veg., Veg. or Vegan options). If you’re craving a specific dish from the All Day Menu, let us know before your booking and we’ll see what we can do.

Some of my guests have allergies, can you change the Party Spread menu?

Let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies before your booking. If someone in your group can’t enjoy the Party Spread Menus we’ll help them find something on our All Day Menu instead.

Will we all be sat at one table?

Where possible, we always try to seat large parties together, though you may be spread over a few close-together tables.

How long can we have our table for?

We want you to kick-back and relax without feeling rushed. Typically, we allow 2 hours 30 minutes for groups of 10 or more. If you need more time, just let your server know.
