Del Villaggio Italian Restaurant Group Bookings Terms and Conditions

Payment

All bookings are regarded as provisional until Del Villaggio has received full payment of the deposit. A deposit of £5.00 per person for groups of 10 or more will be required to secure the reservation. This total will then be deducted from the final bill. Full pre-payment at time of booking may be required for special occasion bookings such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day & New Year’s Eve; this will be advised at time of booking and on our website at www.del-villaggio.co.uk.

How to pay your deposit

  • Your total deposit must be paid in one transaction:
  • By cash, in person to Del Villaggio. Do not send cash in the post.
  • By credit or debit card (over the phone or in person).
  • Sorry, we cannot accept cheques, AMEX or payment after the date of your booking.

Private Venue Hire

For exclusive hire of the Private Venue, a £300 deposit will be required to secure a reservation for your own private function.This deposit will be redeemed against your final bill.

Del Villaggio applies a ‘minimum spend’ for exclusive use of part of the restaurant as a Private Venue. The ‘minimum spend’ is the least amount of money a party must spend for exclusive use. Should the minimum spend be met, then your deposit will be redeemed in full. Should you fail to meet the minimum spend then deposit monies will be retained to the value of the shortfall against the agreed minimum. Please contact us for the current minimum spend for use of Private Venue.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your booking you must notify the Del Villaggio straightaway. If you cancel your booking and give more than 48 hours’ notice your deposit will be returned in full. If you cancel your booking and give less than 48 hours’ notice your deposit will be retained. If you wish to reschedule your booking to a later date and give more than 48 hours’ notice, your deposit can be transferred to that booking.

Confirming numbers

You are advised to keep us informed of any change in numbers (regardless of how small). In the event that the confirmed numbers in your party reduce by 10% or more without at least 24hrs notice, Del Villaggio reserves the right to withhold all deposits above the 10% reduction.

By way of illustration: If your booking is confirmed for 20 but only 18 turn up then your full deposit will be redeemed fully against the final bill. However, if your booking is confirmed for 20 but only 15 turn up then you will forfeit the deposit for 3 people (£15).

Service Charge

A service charge of 10% will be applied to the final bill for all group bookings of 10 or more people.

Timing

The restaurant will not be held responsible should all guests not be punctual in arriving or being seated or if any other interference beyond the control of the restaurant does not permit us to commence service at the reserved time. We will only hold tables for up to 15 minutes after booking time. If you have not arrived or called to let us know you’re running late, we reserve the right to release your table.

Seasonal Menu, Dietary Notes and Price Changes

All of our dishes are freshly cooked. Main courses will take up to 25 minutes to cook. Gluten free dishes are available.The menus provided are subject to seasonal changes. Where possible we will aim to meet all clients’ individual dietary needs; however, we can not guarantee that this can always be met. Some of our menu items contain allergens including peanuts and other nuts, sesame, cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk, mustard, celery, fish, soya, molluscs, crustacean, lupin and sulphur dioxide/ sulphites. Please ask a member of staff for more information.

Parmesan cheese is made using animal rennet so is not deemed to be suitable for vegetarians. We will also endeavour to maintain prices as originally quoted; however, they may change without notice. For larger groups, menu confirmation is required a minimum of 48 hours prior to your booking.

To pre-order wine please request a full wine list and give 48 hours’ notice to ensure delivery.

Responsible Service of Alcohol
