Terms and Conditions
These terms apply when you use The Hidden Parlour venue or website, make an enquiry or booking, or attend restaurant dining and in-person Offline Poker experiences, including the Card Lounge, Card Room and Poker Tables. They are intended to support a respectful, safe and enjoyable visit. Please read them before making arrangements or attending an activity.
Dining reservations and requests
Reservation requests and confirmation
The Hidden Parlour offers restaurant dining by reservation and enquiry. A request for a table, group visit or attendance arrangement is not confirmed until the venue provides confirmation through its nominated method, [insert nominated confirmation method]. Where requested, please provide accurate contact details, group information and any other details needed to consider your request. Availability may change before confirmation, and a request does not reserve a space simply because it has been submitted.
- Check the details in any confirmation you receive and tell the venue promptly if something is incorrect.
- Provide a contact method that can reasonably be used for booking-related updates.
- Only rely on a booking once its relevant details have been confirmed by the venue.
Changes, cancellations and arrival
If your plans change, please notify The Hidden Parlour as soon as practicable. Any cancellation requirements, group conditions, late-arrival arrangements or other booking-specific terms shown during the relevant booking process form part of that booking. Where a notice period applies, it will be identified as [insert applicable notice requirement] rather than assumed from these general terms.
To help the venue manage a considered dining experience, visitors should:
- advise of changes to guest numbers or timing when prompted or when they become known;
- use the applicable booking route to cancel or amend an arrangement where available; and
- check any confirmed booking information for arrival guidance and conditions specific to the visit.
Groups, dietary needs and special requests
The Hidden Parlour welcomes groups and corporate guests. Special requests, accessibility needs and dietary information should be shared when prompted or through [insert group booking contact process]. The venue will consider the information provided, but a request is not guaranteed unless it is expressly confirmed. For group arrangements, please keep the venue informed of material changes so that requested spaces, guest details and service needs can be reviewed in context.
- Include relevant dietary information for the guests concerned.
- Describe accessibility or seating needs clearly enough for the venue to consider them.
- Do not treat an unconfirmed preference as an agreed arrangement.
Offline Poker, Card Lounge and Poker Tables
The Hidden Parlour hosts in-person Offline Poker Nights, social card evenings and Card Lounge experiences. The following terms help explain the scope of those hosted, social activities and the shared responsibilities that support a comfortable session.
Offline Poker scope and definitions

Published session details and participation guidance may change. Please check the relevant event or booking information before attending, and do not assume a particular table, format, timing or place will be available unless it has been confirmed.
Participation and entry requirements
Offline Poker is intended to be approachable for beginners as well as guests familiar with social card evenings. Participants must meet any applicable legal and venue entry requirements, including [insert applicable age and entry requirement]. Beginner-friendly hosting does not remove each visitor’s responsibility to read relevant guidance, ask for clarification where needed and participate considerately.
- Follow reasonable directions from hosts and venue staff during a session.
- Review any disclosed requirements before deciding to attend.
- Raise questions early if participation guidance is unclear.
- Respect that hosts may manage the pace and flow of a shared card experience.
Card Lounge and Poker Tables access
Seating, table access, session format and timing may be managed for safety, comfort and operational needs. The Card Lounge, Card Room and Poker Tables are shared physical spaces, so access may be adjusted to help keep an experience workable for the guests present.
The venue may reasonably decline, pause or end participation where directions are not followed or where continuing would affect the comfort, safety or operation of the space.
Conduct, safety and shared space
Respectful conduct
The Hidden Parlour brings together restaurant dining, Offline Poker and social card evenings for diners, beginners, groups and corporate guests.

Visitors remain responsible for their own belongings and for making choices appropriate to their circumstances. Shared enjoyment depends on considerate use of the spaces provided.
Comfort and care of the shared venue matter throughout every visit.
