A £50 deposit payment is required per person, to secure your booking for Christmas Day. The remaining balance of the menu cost will be due on the 25th December. This deposit is per person, inclusive of children and high chairs.
Please note no booking is confirmed until the deposit has been received. Christmas Day enquiries are held for 72 hours. If a deposit is not received within this time frame your enquiry is released and the table becomes available again.
-
For children occupying a high chair on Christmas Day but not dining from the Children's menu there is a charge of £20 per high chair.
Although guests that occupy highchairs may not eat, they do still need a seat at the table! As we have limited availability on Christmas Day there is a charge for this seat to be occupied.
Whilst we have highchairs, we have a limited amount and therefore include them in the deposit to secure the booking and charge for the use of the highchair on the day. In the event that more highchairs are needed for the day than we have readily available, we still want to accommodate! Therefore we will source a high chair that aligns with our safety standards, that can be used for the day so that the whole family can be together.
Throughout the year our highchairs are first come first serve and there is no charge for them, but there is also no guarantee that we can accommodate them on a walk in basis and is why each Christmas Day we do put this rule in place, and have done for many years.
-
For guests dining from the Festive A La Carte, you can cancel your booking up to 24 hours prior to arrival and received a refund of a deposit.
For guests dining on the Festive Menu, the cancellation period is 48 hours prior to your booking.
