LARGE BOOKINGS AT GROW (8 OR MORE)
If you’re looking to arrange a birthday, work do, Christmas party or other celebration, we’d love to help! Get in touch to enquire about booking tables with us for brunch, lunch, and early evening food and drinks. Please read the below and complete the online booking form to make your group booking enquiry and we will get back to you ASAP.
ABOUT LARGE BOOKINGS
Gatherings are limited to 30 people and last 3 hours from the start time (unless otherwise arranged.)
The latest start time for large group bookings is 20:00 on Friday and 18:00 on Saturday. We like to have our group bookings accommodated well in advance of our busy event hours, to make sure we can give you the attention you deserve.
We book tables to act as a base rather than for seating your whole party. (eg for a booking of 20, we may reserve 2 tables of 8 for you.) We find there is rarely a time when the entire party is seated and, being a community based experiment in ethical & sustainable business, putting people and planet over profit, we like and need to share our space with as many guests as possible. This means not leaving seats empty when there could be happy customers filling them!
COSTS
Reservations are free to make, however in order to maintain our business we will need to take card details at time of booking and we reserve the right to charge a fee of £25 per table and/or give away your tables for any of the following reasons;
No one from the party arrives within 15 mins of booking start time
a significant proportion of your party have not arrived within 45 mins of booking time
failure to check-in with the team for your booking at the bar
cancellations / alterations made with less than 48 hours notice
(All alterations to timings and no. of guests need to be confirmed min. 48 hrs in advance via email through reservations@growhackney.co.uk and NOT via phone. Unfortunately as we are a busy community based bar and rely on income from customers purchasing food / drink, we are often unable to accommodate last minute changes. If your group is running more than 15 minutes late on the day, we may need to give your tables away to customers already in the venue.)
We’re happy to explore the option to prepay for drinks on arrival if you state this in your enquiry form.
