Large Group Restaurant Booking in Leicester: Parties of 10 or More

What counts as a large group?

Online table systems usually handle small parties automatically; once you pass roughly eight to ten guests, a conversation with the restaurant works better. Larger bookings affect the kitchen, the staffing and the way tables are laid out, so Herb takes them as enquiries rather than instant reservations. Table booking for smaller parties is available online on the Leicester page.

Eight things to settle before you call

1. Date and time, plus a second-choice date.
2. Final numbers (and how many children).
3. Menu route: a set party menu or ordering from the Leicester menu.
4. Dietary needs: collect vegan, gluten-free and nut allergy information in one list. The Food Standards Agency lists the 14 allergens restaurants must declare, so use the same checklist with your guests.
5. Deposit and payment terms (confirmed when you enquire).
6. Seating: one long table, several rounds, or a private area if available.
7. Billing: one bill or split. A discretionary 10% service charge applies for groups of 9 or more on the regular menu.
8. Arrival plan: agree a meeting point and tell guests about parking and the five-minute walk from the station.

Why a fully vegetarian restaurant helps large groups

The more people in a group, the more diets at the table. At Herb every dish is vegetarian, many are vegan and gluten-free tags are on the menu, so there is no need to split the table into those who can and cannot eat what is served. Read the guide to group dinners with mixed dietary needs.
