THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT &
CO-OPERATION WHILST GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS & RULES REMAIN IN PLACE

PRE BOOKING VIA OUR WEBSITE
We strongly advise booking a table for food or drinks in advance, especially when space inside the pub becomes a premium when we can't use the garden due to poor weather conditions. It is very helpful and we do prefer it if you visit our website and book a table by following the link on our homepage. We require accurate details for track and trace and recording this over the phone during busy periods can be difficult. Also, our reservation system helps us to control the flow of customers into the pub and maintains social distancing. If the time you require isn't available you will be prompted with the nearest earlier or later time.
Do call us on 020 8546 3271 if you encounter any problems.

TABLE SERVICE ONLY VIA THE QR CODE ON YOUR TABLE
Our menu order and payment system is a feature of our own in-house epos till system and not a third party app. It is secure and very easy to use, especially if you have a debit or credit card set up on apple or google pay as this saves entering your card details for each transaction. Whilst allowing customers to order from their table and limit movement around the pub it also reduces the number of visits to your table by members of our staff. In exceptional circumstances we will provide disposable menus and take an order from your table. (A discretionary 12.5% service charge will be applied to your bill).

We can only serve you at a table and not at the bar.

PLEASE AVOID ARRIVING AT THE PUB WITHOUT A RESERVATION AT PEAK TIMES.
THIS CAN CAUSE A BOTTLE NECK AND CONGESTION AT THE ENTRANCE AND
WE CAN'T ALWAYS GUARANTEE AVAILABILITY.
THANK YOU.

To comply with social distancing, collection slots are available at
10 minute intervals during food service periods.
Collection slots are on a first come first served basis,
those already allocated will appear greyed out on the order system.
You can order up to a maximum 7 days in advance or a minimum of 1 hour.

CLICK AND COLLECT service times are:

Tuesday to Friday 12pm-3pm & 5pm-9.30pm
Saturday 12pm - 9.30pm
Sunday 12pm - 7pm
