Credit card details requested

Hi, I have been very lucky to win a prize which includes a meal at a restaurant in London. I have requested a booking though the details given to me, which has been confirmed by the restaurant but i need to provide my credit card details in order to secure the booking. The link goes through open table.
My question is, is this normal, definitely not normal for booking at my local pub, but I'm guessing cities are different

I think it’s fairly normal, it’s in case you don’t turn up.Credit card 1800

Pretty normal these days for any decent restaurant, only way to counter "no-shows" that can kill a restaurant's margin.
Make sure you know exactly what the terms are (how much pp is taken for a no-show, cancellation terms, leeway on time).1 -
Thank you both so much, I guessed that was the case just wanted to make sure.0
