Staff will also wear either face masks or face shields.❻ We will not be taking any bookings over 6 people until further notice. You still order a takeaway delivery subject to our usual delivery times.

𝑭𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏:

The government has ordered that all pubs, bars, restaurants and other hospitality venues in England must have a 10 pm closing time from Thursday, to help curb the spread of coronavirus.

All venues will also be restricted to table service only.Restaurants will only be able to take bookings of up to six people in line with the new rules on social gatherings.

The six can be from multiple households. Hospitality venues can have more than six people inside in total, but customers on individual tables must not exceed that number.

Customers entering and leaving or walking around the venue must wear face masks but are permitted to remove them once eating and drinking. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for our customers and staff.

Thank you for your support.
