1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. Some cookies are essential for the website to function; others are optional and used for analytics or functionality improvements.

3. How We Manage Cookie Consent

We use Complianz to manage cookie consent on our website. When you first visit, you will be shown a cookie banner asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is saved and can be updated at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.

4. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies set by WordPress for session management and security, and cookies set by Complianz to record your consent choices.

These do not require your consent.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality on our website. They may be set by Elementor (our website builder) to ensure pages display and behave correctly. They do not track you across other sites.

These are set only with your consent.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited and how long visitors stay. This data is aggregated and anonymous where possible.

These are set only with your consent.

Third-party & embedded content cookies

Our reservation system (currently transitioning from OpenTable to SevenRooms) may set cookies when a booking widget is loaded on our website. These are governed by the third party’s own cookie policy.

Stripe may set cookies in connection with gift voucher checkout. These are technically necessary to process your payment securely.

Some of these cookies may be set regardless of your preference where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, such as completing a payment or making a reservation.
