FAQs

Seating is a mixture of tables, standing and space for picnic rugs on the lawn (please bring your own). Tables are first come first served, so be sure to come early if you’d like to bag one.

Groups of 8+ can call ahead to reserve a table – please note tables will only be held for 15mins before being released to others to enjoy.

Orders for food & drinks need to be made at the stalls (like a festival) and you wait for your order there – there is no table service. Nor is there service charge!

Access to the pondside is down a few short steps – for those with access requirements, the garden bank can be accessed without the use of stairs, however there are no tables in this area.

We are family-friendly and welcome four-legged friends – dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.

Parking for BBQ guests is in the overspill carpark – this will be clearly signposted on the day!

The BBQs will go ahead whatever the weather, so please dress appropriately.

Please note the restaurant, lounge bar & veranda are only for the use of restaurant guests, and BBQ food/drinks cannot be consumed in these areas.
