Information we may collect
Depending on how you use our website, we may collect information including your name, telephone number, email address, reservation details, and any information you provide when contacting us.
We may also collect limited technical information necessary for the website to function securely, such as IP address, browser type and device information.
How we use your information
We may use your information to manage and confirm restaurant reservations, respond to enquiries, contact you about a booking, provide customer service, operate and maintain the website, protect the website from spam or misuse, and comply with any legal or regulatory obligations.
Our lawful basis for using your information
We will only use your personal information where we have a lawful reason to do so.
This may include processing information because it is necessary to provide a service you have requested, such as managing a table reservation; because we have a legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and operating our business; because we have a legal obligation; or because you have given your consent.
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Restaurant reservations
When you submit a reservation through our website, the information you provide is used to process and manage your booking.
Our website uses a third-party WordPress reservation system to collect and manage booking requests. Information submitted through the booking form may therefore be processed by services required to operate the website and reservation system.
We only use reservation information for purposes connected with your booking unless you have separately agreed to receive other communications from us.
Contacting us
If you contact us by email, telephone or through a website form, we may keep your details and correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with your enquiry and maintain appropriate business records.
Google Reviews
Our website uses Rich Showcase for Google Reviews to display customer reviews from our Google Business Profile.
Review content, business images and reviewer avatars are stored locally on our website after being retrieved from Google. According to the plugin provider, the review display does not make external requests to Google or other third parties when visitors view the reviews on the website.
Cookies
Our website may use essential cookies required for the site to function correctly.
Third-party functionality used on the website may also use cookies or similar technologies where necessary. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, these should only be used after you have given permission.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Third-party services and links
We use third-party services where necessary to operate the website, including our website hosting provider and restaurant reservation system.
Our website may also contain links to external websites or services such as Google, Facebook, Instagram or Park4Night. If you follow one of these links, that external service will operate under its own privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
How long we keep your information
We only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where information needs to be retained for legal, accounting or operational reasons.
Reservation and enquiry information will be reviewed periodically and deleted when it is no longer required.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your data protection rights
Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, request deletion of your information, restrict or object to certain uses of your information, request transfer of certain information, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how your personal information has been handled.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services or legal requirements.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
