What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files containing information that are stored on, or accessed from, your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can allow a website to:
- Operate securely;
- Remember choices or preferences;
- Maintain a shopping basket;
- Process website functions;
- Recognise a browsing session;
- Understand how visitors use the website; and
- Measure website performance.
Some cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session, while others remain on your device for a specified period.
This policy also applies, where relevant, to similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device, including local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and comparable technologies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies where they are necessary to operate our website and its functions.
We may also use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors use our website. Where these technologies require consent, they will not be activated until you have given that consent through our cookie controls.
We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling, or general use of our website as consent to non-essential cookies.
Where consent is required, you can accept or reject the relevant cookies through the cookie controls provided on our website.
Types of Cookies We Use

These may include cookies required for:
- Website security;
- Fraud prevention;
- Maintaining a browsing session;
- Shopping basket functionality;
- Checkout;
- Customer account functionality;
- Processing an online order;
- Remembering your cookie preferences; and
- Preventing technical errors or security attacks.
Necessary cookies may operate without prior consent where their use falls within an applicable legal exemption.
Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of our website, online store, checkout, or other requested services from functioning correctly.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
They may be used to measure matters such as:
- Website visits;
- Page views;
- Visitor journeys;
- Traffic sources;
- Interaction with website pages;
- Website performance;
- Device or browser information;
- Shopping or checkout activity; and
- General engagement with the website.
For our current website configuration, analytics and performance cookies that require consent are restricted until you choose to allow them through our cookie controls.
You can reject these cookies without preventing access to the main content of our website.
4.3 Functionality and Preference Technologies
Some website functions may store information so that the website can remember a choice that you have made.
This may include information relating to:
- Cookie preferences;
- Website display choices;
- Shopping functions;

Whether consent is required will depend upon the purpose for which the particular technology is used and whether a legal exemption applies.
4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
If marketing, advertising, remarketing, profiling, or cross-site tracking technologies are used on our website, they will not be activated before consent where consent is legally required.
These technologies may be used to measure advertising, understand the effectiveness of campaigns, or recognise users across websites or services.
Visitors may reject marketing cookies without losing access to our ordinary website content or catering services.
Squarespace
Our website is hosted and operated using Squarespace.
Squarespace may place or use cookies and similar technologies in order to provide the website infrastructure, security, online store, checkout, visitor preferences, and other website functionality.
The particular Squarespace cookies used can depend on which features of the website a visitor interacts with.

Third-Party Technologies
Some features of our website may be supplied by third-party service providers.
Where a third party stores information on, or accesses information from, your device through our website, we are responsible for considering the cookie and privacy implications of using that service.
Where consent is legally required for a third-party technology, we will not intentionally enable it before the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Third-party services may maintain their own privacy or cookie policies explaining how they process information.
Where we introduce a new third-party tracking technology or materially change how an existing technology is used, we will update our cookie information and, where necessary, obtain fresh consent.
Cookie Consent
When you visit our website, you may be presented with cookie controls allowing you to make choices about non-essential cookies.
Depending on the cookies and technologies in use, the controls may allow you to:
- Accept non-essential cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies; or
- Manage individual cookie categories.
Necessary cookies do not require the same consent where they are used only for legally exempt purposes.
Non-essential cookies requiring consent will not be deliberately activated before you have made a valid choice.
Consent to cookies is separate from agreeing to our Terms and Conditions, purchasing from our online store, or booking a catering service.
You are not required to consent to non-essential cookies in order to use our ordinary services.
Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent
You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time using the Cookie Settings, Manage Cookies, or equivalent cookie-control function available on our website.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Where you withdraw consent, cookies and tracking technologies relying on that consent will no longer be used for future processing once your updated preference has been applied.
Cookies that have already been stored on your device may remain until they expire or are deleted through your browser settings.
Rejecting Cookies
Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from browsing the main areas of our website.
Some functions may operate differently where a particular optional technology has been disabled.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for functions requested by you, such as maintaining a shopping basket or completing checkout, may continue to operate.
Browser Controls
Most internet browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.
You can normally configure your browser to:
- Delete existing cookies;
- Block future cookies;
- Block third-party cookies;
- Receive a warning before cookies are stored; or
- Delete cookies when the browser closes.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of our website and could prevent functions such as the online store, shopping basket, checkout, or account features from working correctly.
Browser controls operate separately from the consent controls provided directly on our website.
Personal Information Collected Through Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the collection or processing of information that constitutes personal data.
Depending on the technology involved, this may include:
- IP address;
- Browser information;
- Device information;
- Website activity;
- Pages visited;
- Referral information;
- Approximate location derived from technical information;
- Timestamps;

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, we process it in accordance with applicable UK data-protection law and our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy provides further information regarding how personal information is used, retained, shared, protected, and the rights available to individuals.
Legal Basis and Cookie Requirements
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed principally by applicable UK privacy and electronic communications legislation and, where personal data is processed, applicable UK data-protection legislation.
Where a cookie or similar technology requires consent, we rely on your consent for its use.
Where a technology is used solely for a purpose that falls within a statutory exception, consent may not be required.
This may include certain technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service that you have requested.
Where an applicable legal exemption contains additional requirements, we will comply with those requirements.
How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Different cookies remain on a device for different periods.
Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser or when the relevant browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.
The expected durations of the main Squarespace cookies relevant to our website are stated in the tables above.
Third-party technologies, where used, may have different retention periods.
We will not intentionally retain cookie-derived personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
International Processing
Some website and technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, the processing of that information will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data-protection requirements.
Further information about international transfers and the organisations that may process personal information on our behalf can be found in our Privacy Policy where applicable.

We may update this Cookie Policy where:
- Our website changes;
- We introduce or remove website functionality;
- Our use of cookies or similar technologies changes;
- We change a relevant service provider; or
