Tips & Advice

  • Tell the team about any dietary requirement when you book, because requirements must be stated in advance and can't be arranged on the day.
  • Remember that dietary options can't be combined, so someone who needs vegetarian and gluten-free together can't be catered for.
  • Book the children's menu for younger guests, since it has its own simpler spread of sandwiches, sausage roll, jam and clotted cream.
  • Confirm your numbers before paying the per-person deposit, because all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable.
