Restaurant
Bookings

Hey everyone — this is where we'll coordinate dinner (and breakfast, and lunch). There are a lot of us, restaurants have limits, and good tables don't wait. When seats are confirmed, they'll go live here. Grab yours before someone else does.

01
We confirm the restaurant
Larry books a table at each venue, securing a set number of seats for the group.
02
Booking opens here
When seats are available, the card goes live and you can claim your spot directly on this page.
03
First come, first served
Seats fill up in real time. Once they're gone, they're gone — check back if a spot opens up.
04
Show up & enjoy
You'll get a confirmation. Just turn up at the time listed and we'll handle everything else.
⚠️
Heads up — these are placeholders
Every restaurant listed below is a placeholder — places we're thinking about and excited to try, but nothing is booked or confirmed yet. We'll be finalising the list over the coming weeks. When a restaurant is locked in and seats are ready to claim, the card will update with a live booking button. Until then, consider this a preview of what's coming.
