Frequently asked questions

How Primetable monitors availability and helps you book London's best tables.

How does Primetable find last-minute restaurant availability?

Primetable continuously tracks availability at a curated set of London's best restaurants and flags prime-time tables as they open up, including cancellations and newly released slots. Members see a single availability list rather than checking each restaurant's booking page individually.

How will I know when a table becomes available?

You can browse Primetable's availability list whenever you like, or set a daily or mid-week digest that emails a tidy round-up of what's open at your saved restaurants. Primetable focuses on prime-time evenings, so you only hear about the tables that actually matter.

How quickly does availability change at London restaurants?

Very quickly. At popular London restaurants a prime-time cancellation can be claimed within minutes. Primetable helps members spot these openings sooner, but because tables move fast and restaurants control their inventory, availability you see is never guaranteed until your booking is confirmed.

What do I need to do when I see an available table?

When you spot a table you want, you tap through and complete the booking on the restaurant's own reservation system. Primetable points you to the opening; the reservation itself is made directly with the restaurant or its booking provider, with no booking fees added by Primetable.

How is Primetable different from standard booking platforms?

Standard booking platforms show what's bookable at a given moment. Primetable is built specifically to surface last-minute availability and cancellations at hard-to-book London restaurants, curating premium venues and prime-time slots so members spend less time searching across multiple sites and waiting lists.

Can I choose which restaurants and nights Primetable watches for me?

Yes. You can save your favourite restaurants and set the nights and times you care about, and Primetable prioritises those in your availability list and digests. This keeps your updates focused on the premium reservations you actually want, rather than every table in London.
