Bookings & Cancellations

To book your table please note that:
At LUNCH anyone, including children and babies, is welcome. A maximum of two dogs per table, too. In all cases, please add a note so we can seat you most comfortably.
At DINNER, only ADULTS, please, i.e. no babies or children under 10 or dogs.
Please make a note on your booking of all dietary preferences or needs, bearing in mind we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. The notes won’t appear on your confirmation and we ask that you make sure when ordering that you flag up any life-threatening allergies – please do not assume we know.
Credit card details are required for all bookings. The system will automatically make a charge of  30.00 per person if we do not receive at least 24 hours notice of fewer people arriving than were booked or complete cancellation. To cancel a booking, use the confirmation form you received or send an email to info@watsonandwalpole.com
Please don’t use the phone, or social media or a business hours-only email address.
We always try to honour a request for a specific table but cannot guarantee it, especially if you subsequently alter the time and/or numbers of your booking. We present a complimentary cupcake with lighted candle to those celebrating a birthday or anniversary. (Traceability regulations mean customers’ own cakes may not be brought in.) We don’t do decorated plates, balloons, flowers, singing or any other razzmatazz.

Lunch

At lunchtime, we welcome children of any age and a limited number of dogs. Please add a note so we know and can seat you appropriately.

Dinner

NO CHILDREN under 10 INCLUDING BABIES are permitted at dinner. This is because the vast majority of our guests, including parents, appreciate an adult-only ambience in the evening.
