Small Groups Only
Why We Keep Groups Small at Our Cafe
From time to time, people ask why we don’t take bookings or seat parties larger than four. The short answer? Because it helps us create the cafe experience we believe in.
Space That Feels Good
We’ve carefully designed our space so there’s plenty of room around each table. That way, you can enjoy your conversations without feeling cramped, and there’s still space for prams, wheelchairs, dogs, and our team to move safely and freely. Comfort—for you and for us—is at the heart of this choice.
Fresh, Consistent, Cooked to Order
Everything on our menu is made fresh, just for you. Limiting party sizes helps us keep things consistent, ensures wait times stay reasonable, and protects the reputation we’ve worked hard to build.
We have tried accommodating larger parties in the past, but the knock-on effect on both service and atmosphere was clear. It slowed things down, stretched our team, and ultimately affected the kind of experience we want all our guests to enjoy. That’s why we’re sticking firmly to this policy—it’s what works best for our cafe.
The Kind of Cafe We Want to Be
At the end of the day, our cafe isn’t just about food and drink—it’s about atmosphere. We’ve chosen to focus on small groups because it allows us to deliver a relaxed, welcoming, and reliable experience that feels true to who we are.
We also know this decision isn’t always popular. People often challenge us on it, and sometimes we even receive negative reviews because of our group-size policy. While we understand the disappointment, we don’t believe bad reviews are a fair reflection of what we do. This policy isn’t about being difficult—it’s about protecting the quality and consistency of the experience for everyone who walks through our door.
We know our approach won’t suit every occasion, and that’s okay. What matters most to us is creating the kind of place people return to again and again: friendly, spacious, and consistently good.
Thank you for understanding and supporting the way we’ve chosen to run our cafe—it means the world to us.
