COVID 19 Closure Announcement

No bar, no beer no banter, it feels bizarre!

It’s hardly surprising that we Alan, Lesley, Simon and Head Chef Kai, are desperately missing our customers and staff.  No bar, no beer no banter, it feels bizarre, the cellar is empty and we long for the day when we’ll be allowed to reopen; no idea when we’ll be back, but promise that we will return! 

In the meantime, the closest we could get to our Gin Festival in June looks like a virtual event, who can make the best Negroni or Cucumber Gin Fizz?  We invite you to show off your canapés, sing or do you party piece for evening of fun. 

CAMRA have cancelled their Great Beer Festival in August, so be prepared, it’s looking like The Durant’s 7th Beer Festival in September could get the kibosh too.  It’s very sad, but we feel lucky to be here, so keep safe, keep healthy, and we look forward to the day when we can get together and welcome you all back.

In the meantime we are taking advantage of our enforced COVID19 closure to improve the three guest bedrooms, to rip them apart, have a face lift and prepare for a grand reopening. 

Watch this space!
