Table Booking Terms & Conditions


By making a reservation with us, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.


Card Details & No-Show Policy

To secure your reservation, card details may be required at the time of booking via the Stripe payment system. No payment is taken at the time of booking. Your card details are securely held and will only be charged in the event of a breach of our cancellation or no-show policy.


We reserve the right to charge a fee of £20 per person in the event of:

A no-show

A cancellation made within 5 hours of the booking time

Arriving 15 minutes or more late without prior notice


In these circumstances, your table may be released and rebooked for other guests.


Correct Venue Responsibility

Please ensure you are attending the correct venue when travelling to your booking. Arriving at a different establishment by mistake will still be treated as a no-show and charges may apply.


Table Allocation & Dining Time

While we will always do our best to accommodate seating requests, specific tables or areas cannot be guaranteed.


During busy periods, tables may be allocated for a dining period (usually 2 hours) to ensure all guests can be accommodated fairly.


Dogs

We are happy to accommodate guests bringing dogs; however, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance when making your reservation.


Dog-friendly tables are limited and located in specific areas of the pub. Without prior notice, we may be unable to seat your party immediately or may not be able to accommodate your booking if all suitable tables are occupied.


For the comfort of all guests, dogs must remain under control at all times.


Allergies & Dietary Requirements

It is the responsibility of the guest to inform us of any allergies or dietary requirements at the time of booking and again when ordering food or drinks.


Whilst we are confident in our kitchen procedures and take every reasonable precaution to avoid cross contamination, we cannot guarantee that any dish or drink will be completely free from allergens.


Due to the nature of our kitchen and preparation areas, we do not cater for life-threatening allergies.


Children on the Premises

Families are very welcome at our pub. In line with licensing regulations, children dining with us may remain on the premises until 9:30pm. After this time, all under 18s must leave the premises.


Behaviour & Respect Towards Staff and Guests

We are committed to providing a welcoming, relaxed, and enjoyable atmosphere for all guests and staff.


We do not accept:

  • Aggressive, abusive, or threatening behaviour
  • Loud, excessive, or offensive language
  • Behaviour that negatively impacts the experience of other guests


We believe everyone should be able to enjoy their visit in a respectful and comfortable environment.


If behaviour from any member of your party is deemed unacceptable, we reserve the right to:


  • Refuse service
  • Ask individuals or the entire party to leave the premises
  • Apply the applicable no-show fee
  • Recover costs for damages, excessive cleaning, or compensation/refunds provided to other guests affected by the behaviour


Large Group Bookings

For larger parties, we may require a pre-order, deposit, or limited menu selection during busy periods. We reserve the right to contact you regarding additional arrangements for group bookings.


Outdoor Seating

Outdoor tables are subject to weather conditions and availability. In adverse weather, we may not always be able to move bookings indoors immediately.


Damage to Property

Guests may be held responsible for any damage caused to the premises, furnishings, décor, fixtures, or equipment by themselves or members of their party.


Management Discretion

Management reserves the right to refuse entry or service at its discretion where necessary to protect staff, guests, or the operation of the business.


Amendments & Cancellations

If your plans change, we kindly ask that you contact us as soon as possible so we can offer the table to other guests.


Unforeseen Circumstances

In rare circumstances beyond our control, including severe weather, utility failure, staffing shortages, or other unforeseen events, we reserve the right to amend or cancel reservations where necessary.


Changes to Terms & Conditions

We reserve the right to amend these Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.


Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to welcoming you to The Bay Horse Ravensworth.
