important info

reservations

we encourage all guests to use the online booking system to make reservations–saves us contending with background noise to write down your email address and mobile number correctly. using the widget, you’ll be given a choice of times for when you would like the table from and until based on what is available, to a maximum of two hours. if you wish to spend longer than 2 hours with us, please request this at the time of booking and we will accommodate wherever possible

walk-ins

our table availability can vary so we recommend booking ahead to ensure a table

late arrivals

we will hold tables for 15 minutes before releasing to walk-ins, so please call ahead if you are delayed

table requests

we will always do our best to meet your requests for specific tables, but due to the nature of service, we unfortunately cannot guarantee specific tables or areas unless you are making a private booking with a minimum spend 

opening hours ​

our kitchens close earlier than the venue, and occasionally, opening times may vary on the day. to avoid disappointment, we recommend making a reservation in advance or giving the venue a call if you’re planning to visit close to the end of our operating hours

deposits

bookings for 7+ guests require a deposit payment of £10 per person to book a table. deposits will be taken off the bill on the night, otherwise refunds made via the collins booking system will take 5-10 working days to reach your account. no money will be kept unless you don’t term up for your booking or break our booking terms

party packages

during busy periods, bookings for over 8 guests are required to opt for either our sharing menu or set menu. parties of over 30 guests will have the second course served as a buffet. we request you confirm your menu choices, drinks package choices and numbers at least one week in advance so we can prepare for your reservation

 

cancellations

if you need to make a cancellation or alter numbers, let us know as soon as you can. we’re happy to adjust small changes of 1 or 2 up until 1pm on the day of your booking. for larger changes, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice (48 hours for groups of 10+). if we’re not informed in advance, we may need to keep the deposit for absent guests. for significant last-minute changes after food preparation has begun, charges may apply to cover the cost of meals already prepared. keeping us in the loop helps us to make sure everything runs smoothly for your get-together. 

no shows, last minute cancellations, and dramatic drops in numbers have a massive impact on our business, and we stand to lose a lot more than £10 deposit per guest. we hope that implementing this rule will help us to avoid no shows, last minute cancellations and drop outs

private hire bookings

for large party bookings where a minimum spend applies, a larger deposit may be requested. the deposit & minimum spend will be agreed at the time of booking. if numbers drop, where a minimum spend applies, the agreed amount will remain the same. if you let us know with enough notice, we may be able to adjust the space to better suit your group. if you’ve booked a space, and need to cancel, we request at least two weeks’ notice to receive a full deposit refund. for exclusive hires, we request a minimum of four weeks’ notice to ensure a full refund. cancellations made after the required notice period may result in deposits being retained

bottomless brunch

we want you to have fun but please drink responsibly. we reserve the right to withdraw this offer and refuse to serve alcohol to any participant, at any time without notice, if we believe it would be irresponsible not to do so. this is an adults only event (18+). mango operates a challenge 25 policy, so please be prepared and bring valid id with you

bottomless brunch bookings for up to 6 guests require a secure card authentication of £10 per person to book a table. this is to help us to avoid no shows and last-minute cancellations (under 24 hrs), which have a massive impact on our business. no money will be taken unless you don’t turn up for your booking or break our booking terms

bookings for 7 or more guests require a deposit payment of £10 per person to book a table. deposits will be taken off the bill on the night, otherwise refunds made via the collins booking system will take 5-10 working days to reach your account. no money will be kept unless you don’t term up for your booking or break our booking terms

service charge and tips policy

please note a 10% optional service charge will be added to your bill. we believe that the whole team contributes to the special customer experience that we hope to offer, so any tips or gratuity will be shared by all our team members working in the restaurant each day, including the front of house, bar and kitchen team. any tips or gratuities left, are greatly appreciated by the team, but if you would rather leave a tip in cash, or leave no tip at all, then please ask your server to remove the service from the bill. tips are distributed via a tronc scheme which is operated by the teams. because of the tronc system that we use, it is almost impossible to deduct tips from the team once payments have been made to them, so please request at the time of payment if you would like the service charge removed from the bill

challenge 25

we operate a strict challenge 25 policy. if you appear under 25, you will be asked for id when purchasing alcohol. well behaved children are welcome any time during kitchen opening hours except on special events which state otherwise, e.g. bottomless brunch. please let us know when booking if you have children in your group so we can best accommodate you

wheelchair access

unfortunately we are unable to accommodate full time wheelchair users, due to the architecture and layout out of the buildings at the portswood and above bar restaurants
