Reservations in Rendezvous Café

Mostly, we encourage customers to just turn up to visit and enjoy the Rendezvous Café. However, if you are part of a group and would like to book a table for 6 or more people, our team will be happy to reserve this for you on the basis of the following terms:

  • A pre order is made
  • A deposit of 50% for the order is made to secure the booking that will be non-refundable if you do not turn up

We are sure our customers will understand why this is necessary for our busy Café. To reserve a table please contact 01525 631905.  We look forward to seeing you soon!

My colleague Martyn would like to pass his personal thanks to the CSA. He was appropriately friendly and went out of his way to ensure we had a successful event. Upon arrival one of our key guests was in need of a cup tea. Martyn spoke with the CSA, not only did he sort out a cup of tea for her but provided a biscuit too. In Martyn’s words, “Superb. Wouldn't it be great if everyone went that extra mile like the CSA at the Rufus Centre.”

I would just like to that our club presentation evening that took place last night in the Lockyer Suite went according to plan and was an exceptional evening. I have to mention that this is very much down to your excellent staff and the absolutely wonderful venue.

Your staff, both before the event as well as during the event, went out of their way to help us and accommodate us in every regard, they were exemplary.
