Children's Policy - We are a family friendly establishment and welcome children in all areas except for the larger of the two conservatory rooms, as this is kept as an adult environment and do not allow pushchairs, highchairs or young children in this area.  We are unfortunately unable to guarantee requests for the small conservatory due to limited availability, but will do so where possible.

Dog lovers, we have dog-friendly tables outside and inside the café.  Booking is recommended for inside, due to limited availability.

Booking a table online is easy and takes just a couple of minutes
