Frequently Asked Questions
Please read our terms fully before booking or visiting
(so it's not awkward on the night):
RESERVATIONS
Reservations are recommended but not essential. There will be a few unreserved tables out the front at Sidcup available on a first come, first seated basis.
Tables are only reserved for parties of 3-6 at Sidcup and 2-6 at Welling. If you book a table and fewer guests arrive than you booked, we might move you to a smaller table out the front, or you might have to share your table.
OPENING HOURS
See our homepage for new, temporary opening hours.
GROUP RESTRICTIONS
Up to 6 guests from any number of households
Any number of guests from a maximum of two households.
NO STANDING
You must be seated when you order and consume drinks. Please don't order at the bar or stand when drinking. Our toilets will be open as usual.
TEST AND TRACE
Unlike last time, all guests must now check in by scanning the QR code at the door, not just one from the group.
MASKS
Unless you are exempt, masks must be worn when entering or leaving the pub and when using the toilets.
CHILDREN
Sidcup - OVER 18
Welling - OVER 21
Due to the strict new guidelines, you WILL NOT be served if you have children with you, even if they are outside the pub.
ORDER AT TABLE APP
An order at table app is available at Sidcup to allow guests to choose drinks from our full menu and pay by card or with Apple Pay. Once your drinks are ready, they will be delivered to your table. Our app can be downloaded in advance here .
If you prefer you can order from a member of staff at your table and we will still be accepting cash and card payments.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
We obviously want you to have a great time during your visit but this can't be to the detriment of other guests. You must observe current social distancing guidelines and respect the space of others at all times. Please drink responsibly and avoid shouting.
TAKEAWAYS
Deliveries will stop and we will resume a takeaway collection service at both venues. Simply come down and choose from our menu and bring containers if you have them.
Q. Can we reserve the cabin?
Choose 'Book' from the menu above for details on how to make a reservation with us. If you would like a partictular table, you can add a note but we can't guarantee it.
Q. Can we hire the whole venue?
We don't hire out the whole venue but once the restrictions are lifted, we do hire out the whole garden (free of charge) at both pubs. See here for details.
Q. Can we book Afternoon Tea or an event?
Afternoon Tea is currently suspended until further notice
Q. Do you allow dogs?
We love dogs!! Fresh water and treats are always available. All we ask is that dogs are kept under control especially during busy times.
Q. What is your phone number?
We have a phone but rarely hear it. Use the 'Book' option above or send a WhatsApps message to 020 8300 6909 for a fast response to your enquiry
