• You must follow the rule of six or be in a group with only two households present.
• Customers must order, eat and drink while seated at a table.
• If you are aged 16 you will have to check in to NHS test and trace, or provide contact details.

They had a great range of beers with five ales on tap, all of which were again very reasonably priced for such a charming location. The staff could not have been more welcoming and organised. The place also had a really lovely atmosphere, thoroughly pleasant experience, we will be coming again.”
