FROM THE ARCHIVES: Summer’s here

We are delighted to welcome you into the Inn or within our beautiful courtyard area. 

We take bookings for our inside seating area and our outside if first come first serve, Our menus & opening times can be found here on our website under ‘menus’ & ‘opening times’

We have decided to still take things with caution – we still have distance or protection between our tables. Our staff are mask wearing and continue to follow strict health & safety guidelines for the protection of all our guests & our staff.

Our maximum table size is a 10.

But somethings haven’t changed. Our good quality, seasonal and freshly prepared food, our attention to detail and our care for our customers.

We are delighted to welcome you Inn.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Are you prepared?

We are all fired up! and ready to go …are you? 

There are a few things we need you to know & do, to make getting to your pints, your vino & tables as quickly & smoothly as possible. We don’t want to make this too boring, but there are some essentials, with all these new guidelines, and we want you to get to the fun & relax as soon as you can:
 
📍 Track & trace is a ‘legal requirement’ for everyone over 16 to be able to come & enjoy the courtyard. Either via NHS covid app or if struggling with that we have another link for you. This is something you will need to do – staff are unable to assist with this. See our website ‘track & trace options’ for some helpful info.
 
👉 Opening times: 12pm – 9pm daily. Food 12pm – 7pm Monday to Saturday and on Sundays roast until 4pm & bar snacks until 7pm.
 
👉 Bookings: we have a few tables that can be booked under the umbrellas – these are for guests dining from the full courtyard menu not just bar snacks & lite bites. These can be booked via our reservations team (not on the door.) All other tables are available on the day – the host will help see what’s available – you can choose to dine from any of our menus at these tables or just have a tipple or two.
 
👉 we don’t have any heaters so bring a blanket or a hot water bottle, or maybe the ski kit on those colder days?!
 
👉 We have some ‘house rules’ to make all this possible e.g. max of six at a table, two hours on a table & table service only (until 17th May) etc. see our website for our full ‘house rules -Covid’
 
👉 please can everyone do a sun dance ready for 12th April!😎
 
We can’t wait to welcome you all.
 
Reservations open daily 10am – 1pm. We will get back to any messages as soon as we can.
