Booking Terms and Conditions
Thank you for enquiring about a booking with us here at Caffe Di Milano, we ask that you please take a moment to read the below terms & conditions that form part of an agreement when booking with us.
A deposit payment of £10 per person is to be paid 48 hours prior to the booking, after the final confirmation of number of guests and food orders. In the case of a cancellation or a no show, this £10 deposit is non refundable and cannot be deducted from the final bill.
Where deposit payment is not applicable, we require you to provide credit/debit card information to secure your reservation; we use an external secure company called ‘stripe’ to collect this & all information is held confidently. We use these details to secure your booking and as a precaution for our business to avoid no shows & late cancellations which financially affect our restaurant.
A payment of £10 per person will be charged to the card if any large changes or cancellations are made any later than 48 hours prior to your booking (the fee will also be charged for no show bookings).
Please note,
- We allow a 15-minute grace period for your arrival, however if you fail to attend within this time, the system will automatically cancel your table & a £10 charge will be applied to your card for each guest. This applies even if you attempt to contact us on the evening or if there is a partial arrival of guests. The system is automatic & staff within the restaurant will not be able to alter/change this.
- All large table bookings of 7+ guests have duration of 2 hours unless agreed otherwise, however we do expect ALL guests to arrive on time for the reservation, fail to do so will result in the cancellation of the whole table.
- All large tables of 7+ guests must have a pre-order form fully completed & returned to us 3 days prior to your reservation to complete the confirmation (our online order form for our party set menu is available to download on our website and can be found in the ‘Group Bookings’ section). Large parties of 7+ may only order from the party set menu (min 2 courses).
- We require large group bookings (7+ guests) to use 1-2 payment transactions. We are unable to take individual payments, as we want to increase our customer satisfaction by using this method to avoid miscalculations/miscommunication during our vibe and dine hours, where there is loud music and a party atmosphere. Please note, paying individually can make it difficult for both staff and customers.
- Any attempt to make a joint party booking exceeding a total of 6 guests via the online bookings system will be subject to an immediate cancellation. Large booking enquiries must be made directly to the restaurant for confirmation through either email or WhatsApp.
- A service charge of 10% will automatically be added to the final bill. This is not an optional charge for the large party bookings.
