Reservations

One chair is spoken for forever

We have never needed a booking system. There is one table, two seats, and a standing arrangement that predates all of it.

The standing reservation

Table 1, Chair 1

Permanently held since the first night, for as long as the oaks stand. The best customer does not need to book, and has never once been asked to.

Permanently reserved · no cancellation policy

  3. 03The place card is written by hand, every time.
  4. 04The best of the bottle is opened first, without being asked.
  5. 05Boomer's bowl stays by the door. Pickles inspects the room.

Request a sitting

Two seats maximum

Chair 1 is already spoken for. This request is for the table, the room, and the other chair.

In residence

Boomer held the door. Pickles holds the room, and is still here for it.

Every service begins with a bowl by the gate and ends with a cat walking across the tablecloth. One of them is a memory; the other is asleep on the good chair. Neither arrangement is negotiable.
