Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book in advance?
Absolutely. There will be no tickets available on the night.
How do I book?
Click on Buy Tickets and you’ll be directed to our online ticket agent, Ticket Source. There, navigate to the event and book the number and type of main course corresponding to your party’s preferences.
Can I choose where I sit?
We will allocate seating on tables for 8. However, if you wish to sit with friends, you’ll be able to indicate this when booking and we will do our very best to accommodate your preferences.
Why can't we choose where to sit?
Because we will have to serve a large number of meals in a relatively short time, we need full tables without any gaps as this will speed up service times and keep costs lower. If you want to sit with friends, you can request this at the time of booking.
Friends have booked separately - can we still sit together?
Yes. When booking, we’ll ask whether you wish to be seated with another party, even if they’ve booked separately.
What times should I arrive?
Doors will open at 6.15 pm in readiness for foodservice at approximately 7pm. The bar will be open from 6.15 pm.
What times does the bands start and finish
Music will begin at 8pm and finish by 10pm, with an interval after 45 minutes.
What time do we eat?
Food will be served at table from 7pm and be completed by 8pm. Drinks will be served at table from 6.15pm and throughout the evening.
We regret we’re unable to serve tea or coffee.
Can I see the show without booking supper?
Because of limited capacity at The Royal Lion in Lyme Regis you can only see the enjoy by booking supper. However, at The Gateway in Seaton we will occasionally release a limited number tickets without supper. But we cannot guarantee the availability of music only tickets and if you definitely want to see the show we highly recommend you book supper tickets! For not much extra money you get 2-course supper. It’s excellent value for money!
Are there any discounts or concessions?
We are offering a 5% discount if you book a table for 8.
Can we talk during the performance?
We respectfully ask you to keep conversation to a minimum during performances out of respect for the artists and fellow guests. Chatting between songs and, of course, in the interval is fine!
Do you cater for special diets?
Yes. We can usually cater for vegan and gluten diets, just let us know either before you book or after booking by emailing lymejazz@gmail.com.
Do I need to pick up tickets?
No. We will not be issuing physical tickets. Instead your name will be automatically added to the evening’s guest list once you book. So, don’t worry if you forget to bring your email ticket or can’t find it – we’ve got you covered!
Can I come on my own?
Yes, of course. In fact we positively welcome bookings from lone customers. Because we allocate seats on tables shared with others, everyone’s in the same boat – nearly all our customers find themselves sitting with people they don’t know. You’ll get a personal welcome on the door and shown to your seat and introduced to your “neighbours” for the evening. And they’re a friendly crowd. You could end up making new friends. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Julie at lymejazz@gmail.com
Where are the venues?
The Royal Lion Hotel in Lyme Regis has been hosting and feeding guests since the seventeenth century. It’s nestled into the heart of the town on its main high street. It offers intimacy and good food in its first floor oak panelled dining room. There, you can enjoy comfort and tradition. You can find out more about The Royal Lion here.
In Seaton, The Gateway Theatre is a popular local cultural hub and provides a larger space and a dedicated stage. Because of its size we can accommodate more guests and squeeze in customers who just want to join us for the music.
