Terms & Conditions

1. Terms

All reservations made for Barnacle whether provisional or confirmed, are made upon, and are subject to, the following Terms & Conditions and no variation thereof will be accepted unless agreed in writing with Barnacle Liverpool Ltd. Written confirmation (via email, post, or online tick box) will confirm acceptance of Barnacle’s Terms & Conditions.

2. Interpretation
In these Terms & Conditions “Barnacle” refers to the entity trading as Barnacle Liverpool Ltd and the “client” means the person, firm or company with a confirmed booking with Barnacle.

3. Law
These Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted according to law in England and Wales.

4. Confirmation and Deposit
For reservations of parties fewer than 7 people made at Barnacle the client must provide and pre-authorise a valid method of payment, on which there will be no charge at the point of confirmation.

For reservations of parties of 7 people or more made in Barnacle a deposit of £10 per person will be required upon booking to confirm the reservation. This will then be redeemed from the final bill. Where booking numbers reduce by more than two people without 24 hours prior notice the full deposit shall become payable per the difference in number.

For all reservations on an exclusive-use or private hire basis in Barnacle a written confirmation and a deposit of 50% of the minimum spend value agreed in writing will be required from the client upon booking to guarantee the reservation. Where booking numbers reduce the minimum spend value agreed in writing must still be met.

All deposits can be paid by credit card or BACS payment and are non-refundable.

5. Payment of Outstanding Balances
All outstanding balances for reservations and pre ordered food and drinks in written confirmation must be received 14 days in advance of the reservation. All major credit cards are accepted. All payments must be paid in pounds sterling and are subject to Value Added Tax at the prevailing rate. Invoicing is subject to prior written approval from the Directors of Barnacle Liverpool Ltd.

The outstanding balance for any additional items consumed during the reservation must be paid for at the end before leaving the premises.

In the event that any balances are not paid before leaving the premises Barnacle reserves the right to charge any stored credit card or payment method associated with the reservation the outstanding amount to settle the balance, at which point a breakdown of the charge will be sent to the Client in writing.

6. Cancellation
All reservations are subject to following the cancellation policy.

A cancellation greater than 24 hours prior the reservation may be struck off without incurring any charge.

A cancellation fewer than 24 hours prior the reservation may be struck off but will incur a charge at the rate of £20 per person.

In the event of the client not notifying Barnacle of a cancellation and or not presenting themselves at the specified time a charge will be incurred at the rate of £20 per person. This will be considered a “no show”.

Charges incurred due to cancellation are non-refundable.

Barnacle reserves the right to cancel the reservation at any time by written notice to the Client if the Client is in breach of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Cancellation of confirmed reservations shall only be accepted when received in writing.

7. Service Charge
A discretionary service charge of 10% will be automatically added to the Client’s bill.

8. Minimum Spend
Exclusive-use hire of Barnacle will be subject to a minimum spend arrangement subject to the service and date in question.

We cater for dietary requirements and kindly ask to be advised of these in advance. In order to fully prepare for your reservation, we require menu and wines choices to be confirmed 72 hours prior to the time of the reservation.
