CHRISTMAS BOOKING ARRANGEMENS
Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve we will require a £10pp non refundable deposit on ALL bookings. We will also require a pre order by the end of 22nd December for all groups of 6 or more people.
We will accept walk ins on Christmas Eve however availability cannot be guaranteed. Also, if we get too busy in our lounges we may have to suspend food service in our Tap Room. So in all cases bookings are highly recommended.
Christmas Day
Christmas Day is advance bookings only and we will only be offering our Christmas Day menu. There will be no food service in our Tap Room just drinks service. Availability will be limited and to help us manage bookings we will only be accepting reservation requests by email from 9.00am on Wednesday 11th September and will deal with them on a first come first served basis.
Please note that requests made in other ways will be referred back to our email booking arrangements. Requests made before 9.00am on 11th Sept will regrettably not be responded to.
