We've kept the numbers sensible on the 1st few weekend's service, and am pleased to say it went very well and as we ease our way out of lockdown will look forward to welcoming more people wanting to dine out. There's no denying that the hospitality sector has been hit hard by this pandemic, however we were determined to come out of this by hitting the ground running so that our customers can feel reassured we've done all we can to provide them with a safe dining environment. We take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness an hygiene and we've taken every precaution so that those who dine with us can do so safe in the knowledge that all has been done to safeguard their health and that of the staff. We're operating a reduced a la carte menu but the exacting standards expecting from 1 of the world's greatest chefs have not be compromised in any way and judging by the response from those who came here on the weekend, demonstrates there's a healthy appetite to dine out."
