Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be dancing?
The current guidelines do not allow dancing, therefore we will deliver table service for all food and drink throughout the evening.
Why can’t we have large tables?
We are running a restaurant style operation, therefore the maximum table size if for 6 people.
Why have you changed your package?
Current government guidelines do not allow parties in the style we have offered in previous years and we do not want to let our customers down. On that basis, we have changed our offer to provide a celebration dinner which we are able to deliver.
What are you doing to ensure we are safe?
After being chosen to host behind closed doors international cricket, our team have been trained in delivering a safe experience for all guests. All our staff will be wearing face masks or face shields and aprons.
Our premises will be deep cleaned after every event and staff are washing their hands at least every half an hour and using hand sanitister each time they enter and the exit the kitchen.
