Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQ
We have been working behind the scenes, to create a space that's truly special and unique. We aim to be open for business late June.
Our shop will be open 6 days per week Tuesday-Thursday (10-7pm), Friday & Saturday (10-8pm), and Sunday (11-5pm). We will be closed Mondays, and for the occasional family holiday. Any changes to our store hours of operation will be updated via social media.
We have limited in store seating options. Currently, there is only a small seating area at our bar top for 5 people. But don't fret, our cheese boxes are made to go! Stools will be provided for seating during our events.
We will have Bookmonger gift cards available that work both in store and online. You can choose from a digital gift card (available for purchase online), or a physical gift card (available for purchase in our shop). The are redeemable against anything we carry online or in our physcial store.

Cheese Bar & Catering
Our in store cheese bar is a unique to-go style 'build your own' cheese box. We offer three sizes in store, that feed up to 5 people. We build and style on site for takeaway. We have a few stools available if you'd like to dine with us, and enjoy a glass of wine. We will have substitutions available for vegans, and gluten intolerances.
For catering orders for 6 people and more, we need two days advance notice. Please see our catering booking page to secure your order and pickup time. Our catering box serves 6-12 people. For larger groups, ordering multiple boxes is the way to go. We are not currently catering for large on site events, but will be adding this is the near future. Contact us at hello@thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk for more information.
Please note any allergies prior to ordering. Due to the nature of our business, there will be some cross contamination with nuts. We will have vegan, and gluten free options available.
Yes! We are happy to adhere to any food aversions or intolerances you may have. Just let us know what you'd like to remove and/or add and we will do our best to make it happen.
Events
Our bookclub, The Bookmonger Society, will meet monthly. Tickets for the meeting event will be posted when we announce the book for that month. Due to limited space, tickets will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Additional event dates may be added based on demand. If you don't get a ticket, we encourage you to read along with us anyway!
As we are working with limited seating and space in our shop, we can only host a small group of under 20 each meeting. If tickets sell out quickly, we will review the possibility of adding another discussion night.
We have a host of book, wine, and cheese related events in the works! Our monthly event will be our book club, The Bookmonger Society. We will also be hosting author evenings, and charcuterie workshops. All events and tickets will be posted on our website.
