Unfortunately, we do not have screens in our bar, and so we will not be showing any matches.
Your card details will be required to complete your booking but you will not be charged — however, if you don’t show up, are more than 30 minutes late, or cancel your booking with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged a non-refundable fee of £5 per person. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to your booking time.
If you’re late, you don’t need to call ahead, your table will be held for as long as possible and we’ll see you when you get here!
If you need the lift to go straight to the top, please let a member of staff know and we will assist you, otherwise, you can get out on the floor just below and head up the short final flight.
There are bike hoops covered by security cameras downstairs. Alternatively, Cycle Hub offers secure and covered parking, and locks at midnight (so your bike is safe overnight). You’ll find it next to Peckham Rye Station.
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us at Bussey Rooftop Bar and we’ve implemented a few new procedures to ensure your safety during this time.
Bussey Rooftop Bar is a (covered) OUTDOOR venue that already adheres to the rule of 6. Under the recent Tier 2 conditions, we can continue to operate in our current format. Cheers to that!
– We are operating with a reduced capacity, allowing for appropriate social distancing on the rooftop. Following new government rules effective Monday 14th September, we are unable to accommodate group bookings or corporate parties of more than 6 people.
– Staff will be provided with appropriate PPE and will be required to wash their hands regularly.
– All tables, chairs and high-contact areas will be thoroughly sanitised between each and every booking.
– We will provide contactless service, with food and drinks delivered via trays and empty cups collected via provided baskets on each table, ensuring a contactless experience for everyone.
– We are offering a fully seated and fully hosted experience, so the bar will be closed to the public. Food and drink orders can be made via a web app to maximise your time with your loved ones and avoid the queues!
– Multiple sanitation stations will be available to staff and guests.
– We are closely following government advice and will adapt the rooftop to ensure we are following official guidelines at all times.
Those are just some of the measures we’re taking to make the rooftop even safer this year. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch via the widget at the bottom right.
It’s wonderful that you’d like to join us!
Please note if you cannot book online this will be because we’re full. Our availability is listed on our website, just scroll up to our widget!
As our largest table fits 10, we are only able to accept bookings for 10 people at once. You will need to go through the booking process a few times to book this number of guests. We can accept groups of up to 30 for a regular booking.
Get in touch once you’ve done this and we will do our best to place the groups on tables close together. This may not always be possible as it does depend on availability.
We do not take deposits nor do we have a minimum spend requirement.
Please note that in order to manage congestion on the stairwell and at the check-in point, your whole group must be present on the ground floor before being permitted up to the rooftop.
If you booked a high-top table, you’re in luck — you’ll have cover from the elements so you can carry on having fun! We do not cancel reservations in the event of rain unless in the event of dangerous weather.
Yes! We accept walk-ins but they are subject to availability. To secure a table, we recommend making a reservation — bookings are free and you’ll be asked for card details at checkout but you won’t be charged unless you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, don’t show up for your booking, or are late by more than 30 minutes, in which case you will be charged £5 per person. If the lockdown period is extended, a charge will not be made.
