18 questions across 6 topics.

Weekend brunch

Seatings, booking, walk-ins, drinks.

Are walk-ins accepted at weekend brunch?

Yes, when covers remain. Each seating is capped, pre-booked tables are seated first and the 12:00 seating fills earliest, so booking is the reliable route on a Saturday or Sunday.

Book brunch

Private events

Private dining, celebrations, viewings.

Is alcohol served?

Only Traditional Guinness Punch, which is served at the A&C Mall food court to over 18s, subject to stock and age verification. Everything else on the list is alcohol-free: fresh juices, island coolers and Caribbean teas. Rum punch, cocktails and wider alcohol packages are arranged for private dining, private events and off-site catering.
