Further information / FAQ’s

ORDER IN ADVANCE?:  This is not normally needed, but we do need you to choose a party menu for use on the day.  Our staff are trained to cater to large parties and are happy to take your order after you have arrived..

DIETS: Our menus cater for most specific dietary requirements, so there is no need to worry in advance about common concerns like Vegetarian or Gluten free diets. It is helpful to know about Vegans and severe allergy issues in advance (although it’s not a problem to accommodate them).

DEPOSITS:  We only ask for these for a short period of the Christmas party season; £10 per head between the 4th and 17th of December (2023).

DISABLED ACCESS: The nature of our listed building prevents us from providing wheelchair access to the Restaurant and Loft.  There are wider, modern service stairs (the staff / emergency staircase) that provides easier access for those with limited mobility.  We can convert the Games Room (ground floor) into a space for parties (25 max) if required. All toilets (including Disabled) are on the ground floor.

SERVICE: We add a 10% discretionary service charge to tables with 8 or more guests.
