However, should you arrive more than 15 minutes after your booking time without forewarning, then you may lose your table to another booking.
Due to the large number of requests, unfortunately we cannot guarantee tables or specific areas when taking reservations, nor can we guarantee that high chairs will be available for use but we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Your understanding is appreciated.

Unacceptable Behavior/Damage to Property
If any guests visiting LPP for table reservations, afternoon tea bookings or a private party behave in a manner which we deem unacceptable they will be asked to leave, if they refuse we will stop the party. If any unlawful acts, including breaches of the licensing laws, occur the party will be stopped. We have a zero-tolerance policy on drugs, unacceptable and threatening behavior.
In the event of a party booking the person named on the booking form assumes responsibility for damage caused by guests, whether in the front or back sections or in any part of the building and undertake to make good or pay restitution for any material damage of furniture, fixtures or equipment. All equipment and property bought into LPP is done so at people’s own risk.
As we are situated on a residential area we have certain times for opening and closing the business and we expect all our guest to display at all time a civilized and respectful attitude while arriving or leaving the property.
The management of LPP have the right to stop a party at any time and ask all guests to be respectful of our neighbors when leaving.
Food Safety and Allergens
We respectfully ask that food which has not been prepared in our kitchens is not consumed on our premises. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes celebratory cakes so please ask if you would like a cake served for your celebration. At least 48 hours’ notice is required, so please call or e-mail in advance as much as possible. The reasons we have implemented this policy are that we are often unable to find a place to store the cake in a fridge, which is often required for food safety purposes, the service of food not on the menu can impact our quality of service to the customer who brought the cake and customers on other tables, especially if we were not warned in advance, in the event of an alleged food poisoning or serious allergic reaction of one of our guests, we would be unable to trace the source in accordance with our Food Safety procedures.
We cater for most dietary requirements and have strict policies in place for customers with food allergies. We are happy to respond to any specific requests for further information regarding allergens in our kitchens prior to your visit. All of our managers, teahouse staff, chefs and kitchen staff are fully trained on our allergen policy and any questions can be answered prior to orders being taken.
