Customers who have Pre-Booked a table will take precedence over Customers who have not. Table numbers have been reduced and limited to seating a maximum of six people. Upon arrival please make your way directly to your pre-allocated table where one of our Staff will take your order. If you have not Pre Booked a table, then please make your way to the Bar where one of our Staff will advise you if we have any available tables.
If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, then please do so, but if a Member of Staff asks you to remove your mask (to verify your age) then please do so
As per Covid Guidelines, parents are responsible for their own children and they must ensure they remain at the table, with the exception of visiting the toilets
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these strange days and, we look forward to welcoming you back,
