F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- How do I make a booking?
- We accept bookings online through TableAgent or on our website (www.bodeansbbq.com) or via email to [email protected] On completion of your booking, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of making your booking, please contact the restaurant directly so we can make sure that your booking is in our system.
- Do I need to make a booking?
- We recommend making a booking if you would like a guaranteed table. We will only be accepting bookings online or via email.

Currently, we only accept bookings of up to 6 people; if you book several tables, we cannot guarantee that you will be seated next to each other.

- Please arrive wearing a face covering. Once you have been seated at your table, feel free to take it off for the duration of your visit. You will only need to put it on again when leaving the venue or visiting the bathroom.
- How do I cancel my booking?
- If you need to cancel a booking, please do so via Table Agent, email or a phone call with as much notice as possible. No shows may result in you not being able to book again in the future.
- What happens if I am running late?
- All tables later than 15 minutes will be considered cancelled, and the table will be given to other guests if we have not received a phone call before your booking time. However, we will try our utmost to find an alternative table for you.

- Can you warm up milk/food for my baby/child?
- Unfortunately, we are unable to heat baby food or milk bottles. Your safety is our priority, and we wouldn’t want to harm you or your child in any way as we cannot guarantee the right temperature. However, if you require, we can bring you a bowl of hot water to your table so that you can heat your baby food or milk bottle yourself.

This is the second time we have eaten here, and once again the food and service was perfect. I mentioned on my booking that we were celebrating my husbands 50th birthday and they brought out a dessert for him with a lit candle! I had actually forgotten I’d mentioned it so I was as surprised as he was hahaha!!! Recommend this place, very very tasty food! You’re not sat waiting ages and the staff are very attentive.

Have visited other Bodean locations in London but this was our first visit to Tower Hill and really enjoyed it. We were sat downstairs and had a great view of the many screens showing NFL Red Zone. Food and service was excellent, and great value for money. Had the Burnt Ends with Pulled Pork platter and it was superb. Key Lime Pie was also excellent. Thanks for an excellent meal and evening in general.
