DRINKS ONLY SUNDAY EVENING
Unfortunately due to continued disruption to power in the area and despite efforts from Northern Powergrid we cannot guarantee service this evening.
We are currently able to serve drinks.
Thank you for your understanding and to all our team. This is absolutely outside of the control of any of us, despite everything the team is doing. We hope you understand.
