Booking A Table
Please read the information below carefully before booking.
To avoid unnecessary queues, we’re asking everyone to book a table in advance. Reservations will last for two hours, and will be held for 15 minutes after your scheduled arrival time.
To ensure there is plenty of time for us to clear and sanitise tables, we may ask customers to leave 5-10 minutes before the end of their booking.
We have small tables available for two people, and picnic benches for up to six people*. For the safety of our staff and customers, we are asking you to abide by the Scottish government’s extended household group policy at all times.
If you have special access requirements or have any questions not answered above, please email trd@summerhall.co.uk
(*Our picnic benches are perfect for four people, or up to six if you’re comfortable rubbing elbows!)
Health & Safety

- Constant cleaning cycles by a dedicated staff member during courtyard opening hours, including toilet facilities
- Face masks, gloves, and other PPE worn by staff at all times
- Hand sanitiser stations provided
- Card payments only
- One-way routes across the site, including to bar service area, toilets, entrance and exits
