Thank you for your enquiry into party dining at the Lambley.
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 take all bookings on a first come first served basis to ensure fairness to all, therefore no provisional bookings can be taken under any circumstances.
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 in each session they are.

Table times
As we experience a high demand for tables a strict table time limit of two hours applies to all early sittings.
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 reserve the right 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 reserve the right 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 10 or more may be sat at 2 adjacent tables. Please be aware that we are unable to guarantee which dining room a party will be seated in.
Menus
Because of operating restrictions for large groups we are unable to offer more than one menu to choose from. Once a menu has been selected the whole party must choose from that menu. 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 head deposit.
(£10.00 per person for Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and Valentines Day & Mothers day)
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. Due to licensing restrictions no one under the age of 18 is allowed into the Bar area unless accompanied by an adult. 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.
