To book a group Christmas party, settle eight things first: date, headcount, menu, deposit, dietary needs, timing, travel and the final bill. At Herb in Leicester and Leamington Spa the Christmas set menu is £33.95 per person with a £5 deposit per person and a discretionary 10% service charge for groups of 5 or more.
1. Date and headcount
December dates fill early, so choose two possible dates and call to check availability. The deposit is per person, so a firm headcount saves changes later.
2. Choose the menu
- Christmas set menu: £33.95 per person, three courses (a choice of starter, a pre-plated Kerala thali, coconut pudding), crackers included. See the menu.
- Party menus: £25.95, £30.95 or £35.95 per head, each with a vegan option, for parties that are not specifically Christmas. See party menus.
3. Pay the deposit
A £5 deposit per person is required for the Christmas menu. Ask the restaurant how and when it is taken, and what happens if numbers change.
4. Collect dietary needs
Ask every guest about vegan, gluten-free and nut-free needs and any allergies, and send the list to the restaurant in advance. Herb’s whole menu is vegetarian, so you only need to flag vegan and allergy requirements. Read how to feed a mixed-diet group.
5. Fix the timing
Agree arrival time, how long the table is held and, for a show afterwards, when you must leave. Herb Leicester is open Sunday to Thursday 12:00 to 22:00, Friday and Saturday 12:00 to 23:00; Herb Leamington Spa is open Sunday to Thursday 10:00 to 22:00, Friday and Saturday 10:00 to 23:00.
6. Plan the journey
Leicester: about 5 minutes’ walk from the railway station, car parks on Dover Street and East Street. Leamington Spa: paid car parks on Upper Grove Street, Park Street (Royal Priors) and Bedford Street.
7. Know the extras
A discretionary 10% service charge applies to groups of 5 or more on the Christmas menu, and prices include 20% VAT. Drinks are extra.
8. Book and confirm in writing
Call Leicester on 0116 233 2715 or Leamington Spa on 01926 771460, or use the booking forms on Christmas at Herb Leicester and Christmas at Herb Leamington Spa. Keep the confirmation email.
