Covid19 update 01/10/2020.

Following on from the latest government rules we have made some modifications to how we operate.

We now offer full table service on all tables inside the restaurant. Because of the fast turnover of customers we will not run tabs for tables and will ask you to pay as you go. As in the past we operate a first come, first serve policy, and with a fast turnover of tables there is no need to make a reservation.

For all tables on our terrace please use our takeaway counter.

You are required by law to sign in with the NHS app or provide contact details on arrival. You are also required to wear a face covering when entering and leaving or if you visit the toilets.

Our tables are slightly more spaced out than usual to ensure social distancing and are thoroughly cleaned after each use.

There is plentiful hand sanitizer for your convenience.

We are not able to have any live music events at the moment.

Sunday Lunchtime Sessions

UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL NOT BE HOSTING ANY LIVE JAZZ ON SUNDAYS AT THE MOMENT

Every Sunday between 1pm and 4pm we present the finest live jazz in the South courtesy of The Andy Urquhart Quartet with a varying line-up and special guests playing standards and modern jazz classics – the perfect accompaniment to your Sunday roast.

It is not necessary to book a table as we prefer to seat and serve customers as they arrive.

Private Functions

The Jazz Café can cater for parties and events of all types from 20 to 150 guests including private dinners, weddings, birthday parties, barbecues and corporate events.

We offer set party menus or we can liaise with you on your preferred menu options.

Bookings are available for evenings only on the weekend and weekdays throughout the year.
