Peak Time Booking Deposit & Dining Terms

1. A £10.00 per person deposit is required to secure all peak-time bookings. The deposit amount is based on the number of guests confirmed at the time of booking.

2. Tables are reserved only for the number of guests booked. Additional guests cannot be accommodated unless agreed in advance and may require an additional deposit payment prior to seating.

3. 72 hours’ written notice is required for cancellations or changes to guest numbers. Cancellations or amendments must be sent to dining@themousetrapinn.co.uk

4. Cancellations or amendments are only valid once acknowledged by The Mousetrap Inn. It is the guest’s responsibility to ensure they receive confirmation.

5. No shows or cancellations and reductions in guest numbers within 72 hours of the booking time will be charged at £10.00 per person, deducted from the deposit paid.

6. Cancellations with more than 72 hours’ notice will be refunded less a £5.00 administration fee, processed within 10 days by bank transfer.

7. The booking time is the time the table is reserved from. Late arrival (for any reason) does not extend the allocated table time. Tables may be released if guests are more than 15 minutes late, and the deposit retained.

8. Tables are allocated for a maximum of 1 hour 45 minutes, unless agreed in advance, and must be vacated at the end of this period regardless of arrival time or spend.

9. The deposit acts as booking security and will be automatically deducted from the final bill. Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be carried forward to alternative dates.

10. Only food and drink purchased at The Mousetrap Inn may be consumed on the premises.

11. By proceeding with a booking, guests confirm they have read and accepted these terms, which are displayed at the time of booking and within the booking confirmation.
