Questions
How do I book a table at a restaurant in Edinburgh?
Pick a venue below, choose a date, time and party size, and confirm. You’ll get a confirmation straight away, and you can change or cancel from the Sidedoor app.
Can I see the menu before I book a restaurant in Edinburgh?
Most restaurants on Sidedoor show their menus, opening hours and what’s free on each venue page. Pick a venue below to see what they serve before you choose a time.
Can I pre-order food and drinks?
At venues that offer it, yes. Add a pre-order when you book or afterwards from the app, and it’s ready when you arrive, so the first round is on the table as you sit down.
Can I book for a big group?
Most venues take group bookings up to a set party size, shown when you pick a time. For a bigger party or a space of your own, send the venue a private hire enquiry instead.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, from the link in your confirmation email or in the Sidedoor app, within the venue’s own rules for changes and cancellations. You’ll see those rules before you confirm.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
It depends on the venue. Some take a deposit or a pre-order, some hold the booking with card details and some ask for nothing up front. You’ll see what’s paid now, what’s paid on the night and the cancellation terms before you confirm.
