Frequently Asked Questions

Restaurants & Wine Bars

Noble Rot Lamb’s Conduit Street has a wine bar and a restaurant.

Noble Rot Soho has a restaurant across 2 floors with a private dining room on the 3rd floor.

Noble Rot Mayfair has bars (ground floor and first floor) and a restaurant across 2 floors with an outside terrace. There is a private dining room in the vaulted cellar.

For parties of 1-3 all seatings are for 2 hours, for 4+ all seatings are for 2.5 hours.

If you would like to have a longer reservation time, we recommend booking from 1pm onwards for lunch or 8pm onwards for dinner. We kindly ask that your party is ready to be seated at the time indicated on your booking confirmation.

The kitchen takes last orders at 2.45pm for lunch and at 9.45pm for dinner.

Walk-ins

We always recommend booking a table for our restaurants to avoid disappointment.

Bar walk-ins

Our Soho restaurant doesn’t have a wine bar, so all bookings there are for full meals.

At Lamb’s Conduit Street we have a wine bar and terrace that are open for walk-ins only - no need to book.

Over in Mayfair, both our bars and part of the terrace are walk-in only too, with space held back just for that.

Pre-theatre

We don’t have a set pre-theatre menu. If you’re short on time, please note that our Roast Chicken with Morels, Vin Jaune & Riz au Pilaf takes 45 minutes to prepare - worth the wait, but something to keep in mind.

Large groups

For bookings of 7+ we have a private dining room at Soho (seats up to 10) and Mayfair (up to 12).

Corkage

Corkage is £35 per 750ml. Just let us know in advance.

Dietary restrictions

Please let us know about any dietary requirements when you book. We can offer alternative vegetarian and vegan set lunch menu options. Allergen info is available on request.

Children are welcome in the restaurants but we don’t have changing facilities, space for prams is a bit tight, and we don’t offer a specific children’s menu.

Dogs
