With capacity restricted, we may be full at peak times.

Do I have have to give my details for track & trace?

Yes, you will NOT be served without giving your details and it is an offence to give false details.

Can I still order at the bar or is it table service only?

If a staff member asks you to leave for any reason, it is advisable to do so quickly and quietly.
