Before you ask

The quick answers

Three questions the phone line gets daily — saves you a call.

Weekend dinners: 3–4 days. Poker seats: by Wednesday for Thursday social, a week out for the monthly deep-stack. Walk-ins always get an honest answer at the door.

That's our favourite kind of booking — mention it in the form and we'll hold your felt seat for after dessert. Most regulars do the dinner-then-poker flow.

If there's felt spare, yes — Thursday socials usually have room early. Check the poker schedule and come at doors for the best shot.
Still deciding?

Come past and see the room first

Doors open at noon, the grill's going by five and the poker room warms up at seven. Worst case, you leave with a good dinner in you.
