Booking & Pre-orders

A £25 per person deposit is required to secure your Boxing Day reservation and will be deducted from your final bill. We understand that plans can change, so deposits are refundable for cancellations made by 31 October 2026. From 1 November 2026, deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Once you have booked, we will send the lead guest a simple pre-order form to complete for everyone in the party. As Boxing Day is a fixed three-course menu, we require a starter, main and dessert choice for each guest, together with any sides and details of allergies or dietary requirements. Your completed pre-order and final guest numbers must be returned to us by Wednesday 16 December 2026. Any reduction in guest numbers after this date will remain chargeable at the full menu price.

All our festive menus are all subject to change to ingredients and price based on supplier availability.
