The Pav allocates tables to the best of its ability. Large group tables are not to be moved, along with any furniture that may affect other diners' experience.
The Pav does not move tables together prior to your arrival; we hold a number of tables for the group with a mixture of standing and seating space.
No professional photography is permitted during trading hours. This is to be arranged with the Event Manager for a time outside of our trading hours.
The Pav does not allow any outlandish decorations or games. We don't allow balloons or confetti, as we aim to protect our beachfront surroundings from waste. Please be in touch in advance if you have any out of the ordinary requests, including gift bags and party favours, as these must be approved prior to the booking.
