@joewarwick I totally disagree, if someone doesn’t show up for a booking, fleece them, however, why should someone be financially punished for cancelling a booking in these times, blaming the innocent is like the government putting the onus on us. Let’s put the onus on the government.
Be aware of phone scammers claiming to be from your on line booking company asking for names and phone numbers of your bookings, they attempt to get the customer to pay a deposit. As if life’s not hard enough.
Very excited to be able to re-open, we are opening on Thursday 9th July at 5.30pm, see https://t.co/bxMR0hkhG6 for our new opening times, now open Sunday lunch.
Let me add my voice to the justifiably outraged clamour of those furious at the govt for insisting hospitality and entertainment industries shut down without legally mandating them to do so, meaning they can’t claim insurance. Staggeringly reckless.
Hospitality is an incredibly important industry to the national economy. We're the third largest employer in the UK - bigger than pharmaceuticals, aeronautical and automotive combined. We employ 3.2m people and contribute £139bn annually to the UK economy.
A crazy week comes to a close and we’re learning about a multitude of major conferences being postponed across the country-with massive economic ripple effects. If you’re no longer traveling somewhere out of town, please do all you can to support your favorite local restaurants.
