Diners will notice a number of measures in place to ensure theirs and our team’s safety.

These include:

  • Increased hand washing

The menus are available digitally and contactless order and payment will be encouraged as well. 

Guests will also be asked to book in advance and will be encouraged to pay at the table.

Guests’ contacts will be collected through the digital platforms (bookings, order at table and pay my bill) and stored for 21 days, in accordance to Government’s guidance.

During the first days and weeks of re-opening the chain will be asking guests for feedback through surveys.
