Host rules

• Please respect our non-smoking policy under the covered heated area – there is a pretty uncovered space designated for smokers, and there are covered, heated booths at the front of the pub which are also a smoking area.
• Please note any children must remain seated safely with you at your table at all times, and we are unable to accommodate groups of young children or children’s parties. Due to the layout of our space it is unsafe for young children to be running around – our staff will remind you of this rule if this is not being followed, and we ask you to please respect this.
• Bringing decorations is allowed; however, we kindly ask you to refrain from attaching anything to our walls and ceiling with Sellotape or Blue-Tac, as this causes damage to paintwork.
• Dogs are allowed.
