How long is my booking?

Booking durations are listed in your confirmation email and can vary slightly. There's often another booking after yours, so we kindly ask that you vacate the table once your booking time has finished.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

The Apollo menu can cater for most dietary requirements, and our chefs are very accommodating. We can easily cater for gluten free, dairy free, nut free, vegan and vegetarian diets. Please let us know in advance about any dietary requirements or allergies, especially if they're uncommon or life-threatening. Add a note to your booking, or we'll do our best to accommodate you on the day.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes. We have vegan dishes on our à la carte menu and a vegan banquet menu.

Is your meat Halal?

All our meat is Halal from our suppliers. However, we're not a certified Halal restaurant.

Do groups need to order a set menu?

We ask that groups of 8 or more dine on one of our set menus. We often recommend this for groups of any size, as it's a great way to try a variety of our favourite dishes, and it lets you sit back, relax and enjoy your catch-up. When dining on a set menu, the whole table must take part.

Can children come?

Yes. We're a place for family gatherings, so children are always welcome. Please let us know in advance if you need a high chair.

Can I bring a pram?

Yes, please give us as much notice as you can when dining with prams. With enough notice, we can make anything happen. Please include children and prams in your total guest numbers when booking. For example, a booking for 6 with a pram should be made for 7 people.

Is The Apollo wheelchair accessible?

Yes, please let us know in advance if you need wheelchair access, so we can make sure you, your guests and the surrounding tables are all comfortable.

Do you have a bar?

Absolutely. Come and join us in the bar for a cocktail.

Why do you need my credit card details?

You'll be asked for credit card details to secure your booking. They're entered into a secure platform and held until 48 hours after your booking. Your details can't be accessed, and are only used in the event of a late cancellation or no-show. Please let us know about any changes to your booking with plenty of notice to avoid unnecessary charges. The card details stored with your booking can't be used to pay your bill.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand plans can change. Please let us know if you need to cancel or change your booking at least [24 / 72] hours beforehand to avoid a cancellation fee of $50 per person. Groups of 20 or more need to give [7 / 14] days' notice in writing, and venue buyouts 21 days' notice in writing, to avoid cancellation fees.

Is there a service charge?

A 7% service charge is added to the bill for groups of 8 or more. It goes directly to the team working on the day.

Can we split the bill?

We're happy to split your bill, but we can't split it by item. Please allow plenty of time to settle the bill at the end of your booking.

Can I bring a cake?

We love celebrations! You're welcome to bring your own cake, with no charge to serve it. Just let us know in advance. For larger tables, we recommend two smaller cakes, so we can serve one while the table sings happy birthday. Cupcakes are great for larger parties. We're also happy to put a candle in the dessert of one of our set menus for the birthday guest.

Can I bring decorations?

Small floral arrangements and place cards are welcome. Unfortunately, we can't allow balloons, glitter or confetti. As we're a restaurant, please make sure all table decorations are family friendly.

Is there a dress code?

Smart casual.

What if the weather's bad?

Our restaurant is watertight. You can sit inside all year round and watch the seasons change.

Can I bring my own wine?

We're a fully licensed venue with an extensive wine list, so we don't offer BYO.

Can I bring my dog?

We can welcome pets at The Apollo and have appropriate outdoor seating.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes! Gift cards make a great present for friends and family. They're available to buy online and are valid for 3 years from the purchase date.
