• Your name, email address, phone number and message when you contact us.
• Reservation details such as date, time, party size, occasion and dietary requests.
• Event or catering details such as event type, preferred date and estimated guest count.

• To provide requested updates where you have chosen to receive them.
• To operate, secure and troubleshoot the website.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate business interests.

Submitting a form does not create a confirmed reservation or event booking. The team will contact you separately to confirm availability.

4. Service providers and external content

Netlify hosts the website, validates and stores form submissions, and may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details. Fonts and images are served from this website. Google Maps, Google reviews, Uber Eats and TikTok are outbound links and receive information only if you choose to visit them.

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the website, or when disclosure is required by law.

5. Retention and security

General contact enquiries are normally deleted within 12 months; unsuccessful reservation and event enquiries within 12 months; newsletter details when you unsubscribe; and records needed for contracts, tax, disputes or legal duties for the applicable statutory period. These periods may be shortened or extended where a legal or operational reason requires it. Reasonable measures are used to protect information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Your choices and rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to access, correct or erase your information, restrict or object to its use, and request a portable copy. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

To make a request, use the contact form or call us. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

7. Cookies and analytics

The current website does not use advertising, analytics or non-essential cookies. External services open only after you select their links. This policy and any consent controls will be updated before analytics or marketing tools are introduced.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website or our practices change. The effective date at the top will show when the latest version took effect.
