• Our garden is closed for the winter, we look forward to it reopening in Spring/Summer 2024.

• We operate 2 sittings per service; tables booked before 1.00pm for lunch or 6.45pm for dinner will be for a 2-hour period, and the table will be required for other diners immediately after this.

• Our standard tables accommodate up to 8 diners, for parties larger than this you can make a booking by calling us on 01277 841137.

• The Hoop is a small, listed building; unfortunately this means we do not have space to accommodate prams indoors. We suggest the use of carriers instead.

Our floor space in the Hoop is very limited and due to our health and safety policy update we are unable to accommodate buggies inside the Hoop, we can however allow carseats if they are placed safely on a seat.

Never fear though! We know what it’s like to have young children and that quite often your buggy is your lifeline, also if you are walking to us they are a real necessity. Therefore we have an undercover area outside available for buggies, our team will help you with anything you need so please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Please note Buggies are more then welcome in the garden (loads of space out there ) !.

• We strongly recommend booking in advance, this can be done using the reservations diary below.

• When creating a booking, you will be asked to enter card details; these are only taken to secure your reservation, no deposit will be taken, however your card may be charged in line with our cancellation terms (see below).

• We have a small number of dog-friendly tables available, and these must be booked under the dog friendly area tables only and you must add in comments how many dogs you are bringing. We do not allow dogs in restaurant upstairs on downstairs bar when booking.

• High-chairs are available for your booking, please include a note in the booking comments if you require one.

• We are happy to accommodate any special occasions, please include details in your reservation’s booking notes.

• Booking times are carefully staggered in order to ensure the best possible service for all customers. For this reason it is incredibly important that you and your guests arrive on time; we are only able to hold tables for 15-minutes from the time of booking.

• While we would love to welcome your party for pre-dinner drinks, the size of our venue makes this difficult, and space cannot be guaranteed; therefore, we recommend arriving no more than 15-minutes prior to your booking time.
