Lunch
Managers: Junyi, Morag · Report by: Junyi
FOH
A went into our shorter lunch service with the restaurant fully booked ahead of the full-hire wedding later in the day. With the weather being decent, we received a request for terrace seating, which we were able to accommodate through adjusted section planning and support from the reception team. This worked well and also allowed us to pick up extra covers of 8 walk-ins. We split the restaurant into two areas, allocating earlier sittings across Sections 1, 2 and 3, with later sittings in Sections 4 and 5. This approach helped to smoothen the turnaround ahead of the wedding setup. The condensed service saw us seat 112 covers within an hour and a half. It was a classic Saturday crowd, with families and friends arriving in stages as they enjoy a slower-paced day in their week. The first half of service ran flawlessly. The later sitting required a little more hospitality warmth and attention to ensure we maintained the guest experience while also keeping the service moving towards the required setup timeline. T64 Nicola Sims, enjoyed an extended lunch, continuing their stay onto the terrace. To ensure the relocation and wedding setup did not hinder their experience thus far, we comped their desserts as a gesture of appreciation for their cooperation and flexibility.
Events / Reservations
112 cover lunch in a very snappy service due to a full hire wedding in the evening. Larger parties made up the majority of the guests as friends and families gathered. Notable Guests: Lesley Hill with Chris Shaw, Nid Matomela (Staff), Sara Fox, Simon Nixon
Beverage
BTG wine were popular and had lots of variety, wine training showing up a bit. Stand out wine BTB being the Radikon Sivi.

Tonight we hosted Mariane and Nick for their wedding celebrations. It was a full venue hire, with guests starting to arrive from 5pm. As mentioned in the lunch report, it was a swift turnaround, and the team did a great job of getting the restaurant set in time. Drinks and canapés started the evening off, with guests sitting down around 6:30pm. From there, the service flowed super smoothly. They enjoyed sharing starters, plated mains and cherry clafoutis for dessert. There were so many lovely comments about the food, and rightly so! The kitchen team did such a smashing job of getting 120 plated dishes out with such ease. The clafoutis were a massive hit, with so many guests demolishing them and passing on their appreciation for the dish. A live band and a DJ followed from there. They were a fairly tame crowd, but nonetheless, they had a wonderful night. Guests left just after 2am. Thank you to everyone involved for making this evening such a smooth and successful event.

Revenue: Lightspeed net ex-VAT · lunch = tickets opening before 15:00.
Events: split from Lightspeed accounting groups (Food/Drinks/Wine Events, Event Hire), shown within each shift. Booking detail and budget from the events sheet.
Events pipeline: sheet cost column (ex-VAT where entered) summed by month vs FY budget — unpriced bookings excluded.
Covers: SevenRooms non-cancelled bookings. SPH = food/bev revenue ÷ covers.
Sales budget: current month pro-rated to today; complete months use full budget. Events budget: events sheet (fiscal year).
Revenue forecast: actual MTD + normal-day rate × remaining normal days + booked events. The normal-day rate is this month's actual non-event-day average, regularised toward the budget's normal-day rate early in the month (an ~8-day prior) so a strong or weak start does not swing the whole month; it converges to actuals as the month progresses. Whole-venue events (≥£15k) replace the day; bar events keep ~70% of a normal day alongside the event.
Profit: restaurant Net Profit & Trading EBITDA from the latest MI management reports; updates monthly as reports are issued.
Guest feedback: SevenRooms post-dining surveys · Google reviews via Google Business Profile API (all reviews, paginated).
