CHILDREN
We do have a children’s menu, but we would encourage them to join in the family-style tasting menu at 50% adult price. Children under 18 are not allowed in the bar after 7 pm
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS / ALLERGIES
Whilst we follow the best practice at all times, all of our dishes are produced in an environment where allergens are also prepared and cooked. We are, therefore, unable to guarantee the environment will be completely allergen free.
Unfortunately due to the size of our kitchen and team, we are unable to cater for personal dislikes. We do what we do and we do it well.
Please note, the chefs choice tasting menu is a sharing style with main elements being served in the centre of the table. Please let us know at the time of booking if you require a vegetarian or pescatarian main course (home comforts). We are unable to offer a vegan menu at this time. For all other dietary requirements, please get in touch before booking to check we can cater for them. Unfortunately due to the size of our kitchen and team, we are not able to cater for allergies to dairy, eggs, mushrooms, alliums and personal dislikes.
If you make a group booking, it is your responsibility to make us aware of any dietary requirements in your party. If you do not inform us in advance of any dietary requirements we may not be able to accommodate them on the day and a charge will still be applicable. Please get in touch if you have any questions
CANCELLATIONS
For all reservations, cancellations more than 28 days before the booking date will be issued a full refund. Cancellations 28 days or less from the reservation date will be charged 50% the amount of the booking. No refunds will be issued for incomplete bookings.
Should you need to move your booking for any reason, you may do so for no additional charge, excepting any increase in the cost of the future experience, so long as it is more than 28 days before your booking date. If you need to move a booking that is between 28 and 15 days away, then we charge an administration fee of £30 per person to do so, which will be added to your future booking, along with any increase in the cost of the experience. This can only be done once per booking. Bookings within 14 days cannot be moved, and will not be refunded.
