We’ve compiled some of our most frequently asked questions below.  We hope we’ve answered all of them, but if not, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

What is Early Table?

Early Table is a restaurant discovery platform offering up to 50% off your food bill at our partner restaurants. It’s the perfect incentive for food lovers to try new and exciting restaurants while saving money by dining during off-peak times. 

How does it work?

Participating restaurants list their first tables for dinner. To secure a table: find a restaurant, select your date and time and book an Early Table for €1 per person and receive  up to 50% off your food bill for two to eight people.

Where can I find a list of participating restaurants?

Visit EarlyTable.ie and filter by date and location to find restaurants near you. You’ll find a range of delicious restaurants to choose from also by searching by cuisines.

Are both food and drinks half price?

The Early Table deal is strictly discounted food only, drinks are always full price.

Is the booking fee deducted from my bill?

The €1 booking fee entitles you to receive up to 50% off your food bill when you make your reservation on our website. It is not deducted from the bill.

Are there any exclusions?

Some of our restaurants have special conditions attached to their Early Table offer. Any dishes not available on the deal or other requirements will be noted under 'special conditions'. You must accept these conditions prior to making your booking and they will be included on your booking confirmation.

How many can I book for?

Early Table reservations are for groups of two to eight people including children of all ages.

If you would like to book for more than eight, please contact the restaurant.

I’m a solo diner – can I dine on Early Table?

Unfortunately, our deal does not apply to tables of one.

Can I pick which table to sit at?

The restaurant will most likely have a designated table for Early Table diners.

What happens if I’m late?

The Early Table offer is only available for the date and time you’ve booked. If you’re more than 15 minutes late, it is at the discretion of the restaurant whether they will honour your booking or not. This condition is there to ensure we’re creating a win-win environment where both diners AND restaurants enjoy clear benefits.

How do I get my booking confirmation?

Your booking confirmation is emailed to you once payment has been finalised.

How do I cancel or amend my reservation?

You can cancel your booking through 'my account' up to two hours before your booking. After this time, please call the restaurant directly. Failure to cancel will result in a no-show fee. Your €1 per head booking fee is not transferable to another booking. If you wish to change your booking to an alternative restaurant you must cancel and book again. This will incur a loss of the booking fee of your original booking.  

Is there a minimum spend?

You can spend as much or as little as you like – your food bill will be discounted by up to 50% at the end of the meal.

Is Early Table available on public holidays or over Christmas?

It is at the restaurant’s discretion for the days and times they offer an Early Table.

Can I combine Early Table bookings for large groups?

You can book as many tables as you like. Booking multiple tables and combining them is at the discretion of the restaurant. You will need to call the restaurant directly to enquire.

How do Early Table gift vouchers work?

Our gift vouchers are redeemable on our website for Early Table booking credit. Purchase as a gift for your favourite foodie or stock up on credit for yourself. Please note, our vouchers cannot be redeemed at our partner restaurants directly or be used as payment for your meal.
