While we do not always offer a dedicated vegan option, we’re happy to prepare a vegan dish on request. Simply let us know when you book and our chef will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements.

Yes. As all of our dishes are prepared in-house from raw ingredients we can accommodate most allergies and dietary requirements by adapting our recipes. Please let us know when you make your booking and remind the staff when placing your order. For groups of 13–30 guests, dietary requirements can be included with your pre-order.

Yes. Our Children’s Menu is available throughout the year for £12, including a small portion of a main course from our Menu du Jour followed by a scoop of ice cream.

Our downstairs cellar can accommodate up to 30 guests. If you’re planning a larger event, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to discuss the options available.

Groups of up to 12 guests may be seated either on the ground floor or downstairs, depending on availability. If you have a seating preference, or if anyone in your party has reduced mobility and is unable to use the stairs, please let us know when booking and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your request.

Groups of 13–30 guests are normally seated in our downstairs cellar, either around one large table or several tables arranged together, depending on the size of your group.

Our downstairs cellar can often be reserved as a semi-private dining space for larger groups, subject to availability and the size of your party. Depending on other bookings, you may have exclusive use of the room, or share the space with a small number of other diners.

Please note that our guest toilets are located downstairs, so other customers may occasionally pass through the cellar to access them.

Pre-orders are required for all groups of 13 or more guests and must be emailed to info@frenchliving.co.uk at least one week before your booking.

To help us prepare your meal, please include:

• Each guest’s name
• Their menu choice
• Any dietary requirements or allergies

A £10 per person deposit is required for all bookings of 6–30 guests.

For bookings of 6–12 guests, the deposit is paid when you book on our website or by telephone.

For bookings of 13–30 guests, we’ll arrange payment with you while your booking is being made. Deposits can be paid by telephone or in person at the restaurant.

Please note that your booking is only confirmed once the deposit has been received. Until then, we cannot guarantee that your table will be held.

For bookings that require a deposit, the deposit secures the number of places reserved for your party and will be deducted from your final bill on the day.

If your plans change and you need to amend the date, time or number of guests, or cancel your booking, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll always do our best to help.

As larger group bookings often require us to reserve significant space, plan staffing and prepare for your visit in advance, they may also prevent us from accepting other reservations. For this reason, refunds or transfers of deposits cannot be guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on our ability to reallocate the reserved table or places to other guests.

Yes. You’re welcome to bring balloons, flowers and small table decorations to help celebrate your occasion.

For the comfort and safety of all our guests, we kindly ask that confetti and sparkling candles are not brought into the restaurant.

No. To ensure the best experience for all our guests, we don’t allow outside food or drinks to be brought into the restaurant. This includes celebration cakes, as we offer a selection of homemade desserts.

Yes. High chairs are available on request. Please let us know when you book, especially if you’ll need more than one, so we can have them ready for your visit.

Yes. As long as they’re well behaved, dogs are very welcome at French Living. Please let us know when you book so we can reserve a table that’s suitable for both you and your four-legged companion.

Yes. Our main restaurant is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible. Please note that our downstairs cellar, where groups of 13–30 guests are normally seated, is accessed via a spiral staircase and is therefore not wheelchair accessible.

Please note that our toilets are located downstairs and are accessed via a spiral staircase.

If you have any accessibility requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact us before your visit and we’ll be happy to discuss the best seating options available.
