Booking online is the best way to be sure of a table, and you’ll get a confirmation by email straight away. Walk-ins are welcome, but without a booking we can’t guarantee a table or give an exact wait time. At peak times tables are limited to 60 minutes.

Not at the moment. Join our newsletter to hear first if gift cards arrive.

Yes, we list the 14 major allergens for our dishes. Please tell your server about any allergy or intolerance when you order. Our kitchen handles a wide range of ingredients, so we can’t guarantee any dish is completely free of allergens.

Yes. Gluten free bread can replace any toast at breakfast or our burger buns, and it’s toasted in a separate toaster. The breakfast sausage and black pudding contain gluten, and our fries and hash browns share a fryer with gluten-containing food.

Yes. There are vegetarian dishes across our menus, and a smaller choice of vegan dishes, including vegan sausages at breakfast. Ask your server and we’ll help you choose.

Yes, children are very welcome. Our kids menu has little breakfasts, pancakes, burgers, chicken strips, pasta and desserts from £5.

Yes, we have high chairs, but only a limited number because of the space, so please let us know you need one when you book.

Yes, prams are welcome. We can only fit a limited number at once, so if other families with prams are already dining you may wait a little longer for a table.

Yes, dogs are welcome in the bar area, but not in the restaurant. We limit the number of dogs at any one time, as we can only seat them where they won’t block our walkways and emergency routes, so we may not always have space for your dog, especially when we’re busy. Mention your dog when you book and we’ll do our best to seat you in the bar.

Please keep your dog on a lead at all times, with four paws on the floor rather than on seats or tables, and settled and well behaved. We’re dog friendly, but we may not be able to welcome every dog, depending on size and behaviour.

Not if your dog is wet. When it’s raining we can’t welcome wet dogs, to keep the floors safe and the bar clean and dry for everyone.

Yes, assistance dogs are always welcome.
