Reservations
Weekday evenings are usually available on the day, but Friday and Saturday tables are released four weeks ahead and fill quickly. For groups of six or more we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance so the kitchen can plan the service.
Yes. Add your preference to the special requests field on the reservation form and our host team will do their best to honour it. Window tables in the main dining room cannot be guaranteed during peak service.
We hold every reservation for fifteen minutes. If you are delayed beyond that, call us on +1 (555) 214 8890 and we will keep the table where the service flow allows it.
Cancel free of charge up to four hours before your booking. Tables of eight or more carry a small per person deposit that is redeemed against your final bill.
Menu & Dietary
Every dish on the menu carries a full ingredient record and our team can talk you through it before you order. Tell us about allergies when booking so the kitchen can prepare a separate section for your table.
Around a third of the menu is vegetarian and clearly marked, with a dedicated vegan tasting selection available every evening. The pastry section also keeps a plant based dessert on rotation.
The core menu stays consistent, while roughly a quarter of the dishes rotate with the seasons. Specials are written each morning after the harbour market run.
Yes, and we are happy to serve smaller portions of most dishes. There is also a short children's menu with the same ingredients used in the main kitchen.
Ordering & Delivery
Our delivery kitchen covers every district within a forty minute drive. Enter your postcode at checkout and the available delivery windows appear automatically.
Most orders leave the kitchen within twenty minutes and arrive inside forty. Larger group orders are scheduled to a time you choose at checkout.
Collection is available from the express counter on Harbour Lane. Choose collection at checkout and we will have your order bagged and ready at the time you select.
All major cards, contactless wallets and Babuka gift cards. Cash is accepted in the restaurant but not for delivery orders.
Events & Private Dining
The upstairs room seats up to thirty two guests for a seated dinner or fifty standing. It comes with its own bar, service team and a menu written with you in advance.
Yes. Our events team will arrange a tasting with the kitchen and design a set menu around your budget, the season and your guests' dietary needs.
Full buyouts are possible on Sundays and Monday evenings. Contact the events team at hello@babuka.com with your date and guest count for availability.
