Booking Information 2023

Our Christmas menus are available from Friday 1st December until Friday 22nd December. The Christmas menus will be available Monday to Friday.



With apologies, unfortunately this year, after much debate and due to logistical reasons, we have had to take the hard decision to now cap any more bookings at a maximum of 20 people. 



We are closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. 

A deposit of £10 per person for both lunch and dinner is required to secure any booking. We would ask that these deposits are paid by Friday November 3rd, or as soon as possible if booking after that date. After November 3rd all deposits are strictly non-refundable per individual for any cancellations or non-arrivals.

Please inform us in advance of any allergies or particular dietary requirements. Some dishes can be adapted and alternative dishes offered to accommodate.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you in December!
