We would love to welcome to you back to see us.
We’ve put many measures in place to keep you safe during your visit. Please have a look at our Risk Assessment for the full details. But the highlights are;
- Please come another time if you – or anyone in your household – are not feeling well.
- You’re welcome to book a table indoors to eat or drink – 1 household per table. If you are a party of 2 x households, we’ll book you on an adjacent socially distanced table.
- Please give your name and phone number to the staff before you order. These details will be given to NHS Track-And-Trace only if required… and will be kept safely and destroyed after 21 days.
- The bar is screened off to keep you and our staff safe.
- You’re welcome to use the limited seating indoors, but we’ve removed most of the tables to enable social distancing. Please take your drinks outside when there’s nowhere to sit. There is no standing indoors (Even if it rains – sorry!)
- There is a lovely big canopy outside in our beautiful garden, where you can sit away from the sun / rain. (no sides), with plenty of socially-distanced tables (please don’t move them).
- The pub has a one-way system and marks on the floor to help you social distance. FRONT DOOR = in only and BACK DOOR = out only.
- Please use contactless payments wherever possible
- The kitchen is open with a reduced menu and times to help our kitchen staff stay safe.
- We are regularly handwashing & cleaning all areas.
- Toilets are open – 2 people at a time.
- We are happily serving all visitors who are observing government social-distancing guidelines. But we regret that we will refuse those who choose not to.
- Total numbers are limited to help our customers stay safe. Please accept our apologies if we ask you to wait outside when we are busy.
- All our music events are cancelled for the time being. We cannot have the TV or music on loudly.
