Published capacities may describe a room, an event or the whole venue. Your date, layout, menu price and booking terms still need confirmation.

Compare by headcount

See where the shortlist changes.

Compare how many listed restaurants publish a size range that includes your headcount. “Closer fit” means the published maximum is no more than ten guests larger; the actual seated setup still needs checking.

Before you enquire

Headcount changes the shortlist—and the questions.

Read the capacity context.The restaurant record shows whether the published limit refers to a room, section, whole venue or service style.

Larger groups need a fuller brief.At 15 to 25 guests, include the layout, group menu, deposit, service charge and preferred level of privacy.

Compare the closest fit first.Use the size comparison to start your brief. We’ll check whether one shared table or a separate room makes sense for your group.
