Thank you for
your enquiry into party dining at the Lambley.
The Lambley is the perfect venue for large groups wishing to escape the poor
quality and expensive offer seen in many restaurants today.
In order to ensure your experience runs as smoothly as possible we have outlined
a few points for your information before you proceed to the booking phase.
Simply read the following points and if they are agreeable to you, complete the
booking form and return it to us ASAP. Please note we only confirm bookings once
the deposit has been paid to ensure fairness to all, therefore provisional
bookings are only held for a certain length of time. This will be agreed with
you when you call to book.
Availability
Because of the nature of the operation at the Lambley all tables of 7 or more
constitute a large Party. There are two sittings for Large Parties, an early
session and a late session. We are able to seat one party at each of the times
detailed below in each session.
For parties of 15 or more some further time and menu restrictions may apply.
Lunch
Early Session 12.00 12.15 12.30 12.45 1.00 1.15 1.30 1.45
Late Session 2.00 2.15 2.30 2.45 3.00 3.15 (Sunday also 3.30, 3.45 & 4.00)
Dinner
Early Session 5.30 5.45 6.00 6.15 6.30 6.45 7.00 7.15
Late Session 7.30 7.45 8.00 8.15 8.30 8.45 9.00 9.15 9.30
Table times
As we experience a high demand for tables a strict table time limit of two hours
applies to all tables dining in the Early Session.
Arriving late
The table time starts at the time the booking has been made for, not the time
the party arrives at the venue. As we only accommodate one large table in each
seating time we are unable to ask the later table to delay their meal if the
early sitting is late. We may have to restrict the amount of courses available
if a table is sufficiently late and therefore jeopardising the following table’s
experience. Please be aware of this when booking your table. For any party that
decreases in size we may have to delay the party while we make any necessary
alterations to the table. For all parties we can only guarantee the table will
be held for 15 minutes after the booking time.
Seating plans
Because of the size of the rooms at the Lambley parties of 11 or more may be sat
at 2 adjacent tables. Please be aware that we are unable to guarantee which room
a party will be seated in unless a room is hired for the night.
Menus
Because everything is prepared to order we are unable to offer more than one
menu for large groups to choose from. Once a menu has been selected the whole
party is to choose from that menu. Because we cook everything fresh to order
tables of 15 or more are requested to choose 3 x 3 x 3 dishes in advance of the
menu they wish to choose from on the night. The sole menu available for Sunday
lunch is the ‘classic Sunday lunch menu’ unless previously organised.
Booking your party
Once you have read and understood the above all you need to do is complete the
attached booking form and return it to us with a £5.00 per person deposit.
(£10.00 for special occasion dates i.e. Christmas day, Valentines Night).
NB All deposits are non returnable non refundable. Should you wish to increase
the number in your party we are unable to guarantee additional availability.
Please understand that once we are fully booked we will be unable to seat any
further guests.
Supplementary
No food or drinks may be brought onto the premises unless previously agreed. We
politely request that all persons under 16 vacate the premises by 9.00pm.
Regardless of the occasion it is against the law to serve an intoxicated person
and none of our staff will do so. The Management reserves the right to refuse
entry even if a booking has been made.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
