I tried to do an online booking for the beginning of December, and it 
seems to work without a deposit. But maybe they haven't updated the 
website? Alternatively, for a detox style Christmas meal, how about the 
vegetarian Egg café? :-) Unfortunately they don't serve alcohol - but I 
suppose it would be possible to move on to some watering hole after the 
meal? They also have quite a bit of space.

Just throwing in some alternatives - tell me when I should stop :-)
