RESTAURANT BOOKINGS

Restaurant tables can be booked 12-3pm and 6-9pm daily. We also take Afternoon Tea bookings at 3.30 & 4pm.

Upon booking, we will ask for credit or debit card details to secure your booking, but we would only use them if you cancel or change numbers within 48 hours of the booking; our cancellation charge is £25 per person. For restaurant tables of 10-14, and afternoon tea tables of 7+, the cancellation policy increases to 1-week. Please note we cannot make any reservation without card details.

We will also ask for an email address that we can send your booking confirmation to – if you haven’t received it be sure to contact us.

We allow 2 hours per table, but you can stay longer if we have no further bookings. We are delighted that guests arrive early for a drink before their meal, but we cannot guarantee a table will be free in the bar or lounge.

For all restaurant bookings, there is a minimum food spend of £18 per person, but you can order from any of our menus that are available on the day.

Please note that bookings of more than 10 may be split onto 2 or more tables.

 

PATIO BOOKINGS

We also take bookings for 3 tables on the patio, at 12.15pm and 6.15pm only. These tables can only be booked by phone. All conditions for restaurant bookings, as above, apply.

We can’t guarantee the weather so, although we have a couple of small heaters, please come dressed for the weather!

 

‘WALK-IN’ TABLES – THE LOUNGE, BAR, PATIO AND GARDEN

We are open for walk-ins from 8am daily. Our coffee & cake menu is served from 8am, and our Lounge and Bar Menu is served from 12 to 9pm. All of our menus are available throughout the hotel, so you are also welcome to order from our A La Carte Menu during lunch & dinner service.

We have lots of tables and will always endeavour to find you space somewhere, but this may have to be outside when we are full.

We may ask you to vacate your table once you have finished your drinks or meal, should people be waiting to sit down.
