Good to know
Everything you might ask before a night at Lucky 8. Still stuck? Email hello@lucky8.co.nz.
Money & deals
Our menu starts from $8.88 — it’s the lucky number, not a flat price. Most small plates sit around there; a few premium dishes (hello, truffle beef and the duck) are more, and it’s all marked on the menu.
No deposit to book — we just hold a valid credit card on file. Standard tables only need 24 hours’ notice to cancel. Private functions: $10 per guest if you cancel 24–48h out, $50 per guest under 24h (a no-show counts as under-24).
Up to 3% on card/Paywave/QR. 15% surcharge on public holidays.
Age & drinks
All bottomless drink packages are R18. Valid NZ ID required for alcohol — no ID, no alcohol for the whole party.
Food
We cannot guarantee against cross-contamination of onion, garlic, soy and sesame. V/VG/GF tags are confirmed with our kitchen — please tell our staff of any allergies.
