The choice would be either a Chocolate or Victoria sponge style cake. (Small) up to 6 guests £15, (Medium) up to 8 guests £25, (Large) 12 or more guests £40.
Corkage. We are fully licensed for the sale of alcohol and have a well-stocked wine and spirits menu. We kindly ask that no outside drinks are brought into and / or consumed.
By prior arrangement, should you wish to bring a special bottle of wine/champagne, we would levy what is known as a corkage charge. Corkage is approximately £10 per bottle of wine, £15 per bottle of Champagne.
GROUP BOOKINGS
PLEASE NOTE: Bookings for 9 or more guests
If your party is 9 people or more, please contact the restaurant directly on 01624 845470. You will not be able to make online bookings. If you need to increase the number of guests, which means it will be 9 or more, the below booking conditions will apply.
DEPOSIT For group booking it is our policy to ask for a deposit to confirm your reservation. Deposits are to guarantee your booking. Should you cancel or not attend without prior notification (typically 48hrs before), the deposit may be forfeited in whole or part forfeited for individual guests.
FOOD PRE- ORDER Our chefs do a fantastic job cooking for up to 70 guests on our busiest lunch and dinner services, so taking a large group booking we ask for a food pre-order to be returned to us in advance (typically no later than 2 days before). Why? This forward planning helps the kitchen order sufficient produce and supplies to ensure we can offer all our menu items to your party, we have limited oven and cooking equipment, so knowing we have a large order coming, our chefs can plan ahead and accommodate your order around the multiple other orders we have to cook for. When you make your booking, we will advise of the need to pre-order. An email with our menus and pre-order sheet will be sent out to your email.
If you do not accept our policy of a deposit and a food pre-order, we will regretfully not be able to take your reservation.
AVAILABLE TIMES
Depending on the size of your group (9+), we may limit the available arrival times and a duration on the table to fit around other smaller bookings. Generally, bookings made at 5.30pm or 6pm will have a table duration of 2 hours 15 mins, bookings at 8pm / 8.30pm and 8.45pm will have the table for the night.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer group bookings (9+) at times other those above, unless you have opted for exclusive use of the restaurant in which case the timings is tailored to your event. Note we set a minimum spend for exclusive use which depends on the time of day (lunch or dinner) and time of year (off peak e.g. mid-week/ peak e.g, Weekends, TT, Summer, Christmas)
If you are not able to accept the above booking conditions, we are unable to take your booking.
USING ONLINE BOOKING
MY PREFERRED TIME IS NOT SHOWING
Firstly, after selecting the date and number of guests, be sure to look for the drop-down option of Lunch or Dinner. By default, it will normally show Lunch availability. To manage the number of guests arriving / ordering food at any one time, we limit the number of available time slots. The booking system will only show times that are available. If your preferred time is not shown it could be that there are no more tables available at that time or the number of guests in your party exceeds the number of guests, we can accept at that time. Please choose one of the times shown.
WHY ARE THERE NO TIMES SHOWING AT ALL?
There are a couple of reasons.
1. You may be selecting a day/date we are not normally open. Please read our opening times section or check our facebook page for any special annoucements.
2. All time slots have been allocated. For example for any one time slot we can take up to 10 people. This could be 5 tables of 2, or 2 tables of 5 etc. If there are 8 guests booked at 7pm, then the system will only show availability for tables of 1 or 2 people. If your party is 3 or more, then it will not offer 7pm. We also set the online reservation sytem to allow bookings for a minimum duration. Typically 2hrs 15 mins. Therefore whilst the online booking service may not show times available, we may have availability on the agreement your time at the table is on a shorter duration. Please call us on 01624 845470.
3. Your group size is too big to make online bookings (see note below).

Depending on the size of your group, we may limited the available arrival times and a duration on the table. Generally bookings made at 5.30pm or 6pm will have a table duration of 2 hours 15 mins, bookings at 8pm / 8.30pm and 8.45pm will have the table for the night.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Please note that for special events / menus e.g. Fathers Day, Christmas Parties etc, bookings made online are treated as provisional until such time the required deposit has been paid. In your booking confirmation email you will receive important information about the event, and instructions about paying deposits and/or balances. Deposits can be paid by phone or by visiting the restaurant. Please note that we reserve the right to cancel the reservation if the required deposit is not paid within an agreed time (usually 48 hours). If you decide you no longer want the booking, please call to let us know so that the table can be made available to other bookings.
