Re-opening statement

We are extremely happy to be open and up and running again, especially now we can welcome you back inside our beautiful pub. We wanted to give you a quick update on the guidelines that we are allowed to open under:

• The rule of six is still very much in place, our maximum table size is six as we simply do not have the availability or space to be pushing tables together for two household groups of more than this. Please respect that our team will safely require space around the table so do not move furniture yourselves or stand around tables
• We are now required by law to capture names and telephone numbers for everyone over the age of 16, so please do not be offended when we request contact details from every member of your party, anyone refusing to give contact details will be asked to leave the premises
• We are taking bookings for both food and drinks and there is no requirement to dine with us to book a table or visit us, space is limited and the bar area remains a seated only area so we cannot guarantee a table for you without booking
• Service remains, table service only with no service at the bar
• Face coverings are to be worn at all times whilst you are not seated at your table
• The length of stay on tables is limited to two hours so please let us know if you would like your table for a longer period of time then please arrange this with prior to your visit
• Please notify us if you cannot attend your booking for any reason, no-show bookings have a huge impact on our business and wastes resources

These remain difficult times for the hospitality industry and our team have an extremely important job to do under strict guidelines. Please remember that they are simply doing their job and abuse towards them of any kind will not be tolerated.

We look forward to seeing you in the pub garden very soon as we have missed everyone greatly.

Many thanks, Emma and the team xxx
