Some circumstances can’t be helped but if you’re running late please call ahead, we really appreciate it. If guests are running late, the original booking time may no longer be available but we will endeavour to seat you at the next available time slot that does not disrupt service or affect other guests. If you no longer need your reservation we ask that you call or email at the earliest convenience so we can offer the table to other customers. Our tables are in high demand at weekends and NO SHOWS result in loss of revenue for our small business. During our busy periods we politely request the table be returned as follows
Tables sitting down at 8:30/9/9:30pm shall not be required back for any other bookings. If this may be an issue you can contact Black Iron and we can see where we can make more time available to you.
Children under the age of 12 are welcome to dine in the restaurant until 7pm. Children must remain seated at all times. The bar is strictly over 18s. We operate a Challenge 25 and a No I.D – No Sale policy to ensure that we are keeping within the Licensing Regulations.

A Service charge of 10% is added to bills for parties of 10+ which is always greatly appreciated by our waiting staff and kitchen team. If there are any cancellations on the day, pre-ordered food will be charged at full price.
Celebrating a special occasion? We can provide a cake for the table for a small charge or you can bring your own. There is a cakeage fee of £3 p.p if you were to bring your own. If you would like to decorate your table with banners or balloons feel free to mention this when booking. Unfortunately our staff are unable to blow up balloons for tables but if you would like to arrive slightly earlier to get this done we can advise you on what time would be best. We are sorry to say that glitter, sequins or confetti are not allowed to be used when decorating a table. We take a strong stand on being as environmentally friendly as possible, due to the effect these items have on our environment we do not allow such decorations. We look forward to welcoming you to the Black Iron Restaurant.
