Japanese Izakaya Restaurant Covent Garden

For sure. We have a bar area that can accommodate walk-ins and guests just for drinks. Our bar isn’t massive, and it does serve as a dining counter as well, so there often isn’t a lot of space to hang out and drink on the bar counter. But you’re certainly welcome to come by and grab a beverage, particularly before your table meal.

At Flesh & Buns, we like to play old-school rock music, so if you’re after a quiet night out, you may find that we’re not quite the place for you. If it’s just a slightly more intimate space you’d like, give us a call on 020 3019 3492 and we’ll try and work something out.

For a group of 6 – 8 this is possible. Please call us on 020 3019 3492 or email us on coventgardenreservations@fleshandbuns.com to arrange.

Absolutely – we always keep some tables un-booked to be able to accommodate walk-ins. There may be a wait involved, but we’ll always try to get you seated.

On our 3 elevated sharing tables, we can accommodate larger groups. Give us a call on 020 3019 3492 or email us on coventgardenreservations@fleshandbuns.com to discuss.

To an extent. We have a range of wheat-free dishes on the menu and can make adjustments to some of our dishes to make them suitable. But we do use soy sauce rather liberally, which contains wheat in small quantities – so the suitable menu options depend on the degree of gluten intolerance. Give us a call, drop us a line or ask our team when you come in. They’ll be able to recommend something suitable.

Please note: our buns are not gluten-free, but our flesh can be enjoyed wrapped in the mix of leaves we serve alongside it.

Yes – we need the whole table to choose from the same menu, so as to keep things manageable for our kitchen team.

Unfortunately not: our lease prevents us from offering any food or drinks to carry away, including doggy bags.

Give us a call on 020 3019 3492, drop us a line at coventgardenreservations@fleshandbuns.com or ask our team when you come in. They’ll almost always be able to recommend something suitable.

There are quite a few vegetarian options on the menu, some of which may be adjusted to be suitable for vegans. We’re always working on adjusting and enhancing our menu, so dishes may change over time. Give us a call on 020 3019 3492, drop us a line at coventgardenreservations@fleshandbuns.com or ask our team when you come in. They’ll be able to recommend something suitable.

Yes, all of our chicken is, when it is not deep-fried.

As per the timings on our website – when the doors close, last orders are taken, and the kitchen closes.

No, we don’t.

Sorry, no.

Unfortunately not. We are located in a basement with only a staircase leading to the dining room.
