Just wanted to give you a quick update regarding bookings etc 👍
Reservations are coming in thick and fast which is great 😁 Thanks guys for all your support 🙌
We have decided to take a £10 deposit per booking so it’s fair across the board 👍 Your deposit will come off your bill at the end of your visit 😊 if you cancel your booking in due time we will be more than happy to apply your deposit to another booking 😀 however if you fail to notify us of your cancellation I’m afraid you will lose your deposit 🤔 we really want to honour as many booking requests as possible so feel it’s only fair to have this system in place 👍 Also if you are more than 30 minutes late for your reservation you may lose your table, depending on demand.
We will be serving food every day from12-8 p.m.
Please remember that restrictions will still be in place and food service may be a little slower than normal during our busy periods 👍
Please keep in mind that we only have two sheltered areas which are heated 😤 all other tables will have a parasol but feel free to bring any extras with you including blankets etc. If the weather does turn please be aware you will not be allowed to enter the building for shelter …sorry 😕

Hello Everyone

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back on Saturday 4th July! All going to plan Due to government guidelines we will be operating quite differently which I’m sure will get frustrating at times but we ask you to please be patient with us as we all get used to the ‘new norm’

We recommend that you book in advance even for drinking only and we will also be taking reservations for our outside areas (as everyone who does wish to visit us will need to be seated by a member of staff)

There will be no standing room allowed inside the Boathouse and just 2 till points at the bar where you will be allowed to quickly get served before you take a seat.

For the most part we will be operating a table service system which includes outside (yes it’s going to be fun)

We are now taking bookings by Facebook/email and Debs mobile but bare with us if you don’t get a reply straight away.

The maximum number of persons to a booking is 10 ppl and we are working to a smaller capacity Due to the number of chefs allowed at any one time so social distancing can be followed.

We are allowed a social distancing queue at the bar so we can go back to our original plan of no more than 5 persons waiting at the bar.

There will still be no standing areas inside the Boathouse (other than queuing and walking to the restrooms etc)

There will be some standing space outside but very limited therefore we are asking that for the most part you are seated by a member of staff to help control numbers.

We look forward to seeing everyone again and getting back to some kind of normalcy. All we ask is that you follow our safety guidelines to keep yourselves and others safe.

We will give a further update soon.

Many thanks for all the bookings already.

Stay safe and see you all soon.

 

Government Guidelines

The rules as it stands for outdoor drinking and dining:
Everyone must be seated at a table or bench.
No vertical drinking/dining. No mooching around 🙃
Your table can consist of a bubble of 6 (from different households) or 2 households. If for example you have a family of 5 and a family of 4 you will be seated at tables next to each other but you must stay at your allocated table, no mingling allowed unfortunately 🤔
During our busy periods we will be operating 2 hour slots for bookings but will be flexible whenever possible 😉
Many thanks in advance for your cooperation 👍
Have a great day everyone 😀
