We may also collect and hold some sensitive information, including your and your guests’ dietary requirements and food allergies.
How we collect and hold personal information
We aim to collect personal information only directly from you, unless it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to do so. For example, we collect personal information from you or about you from your bookings in our restaurant, your telephone calls and correspondence with us, from your participation in our Gold Medallion Club and from your activity on our website and social media platforms.
You can be anonymous or use a pseudonym when dealing with us, unless the use of your true identity is a legal requirement or it is impracticable for us to deal with you on such basis.

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information from you or about you in order to manage our restaurant bookings, provide periodic newsletter communications, operate our Gold Medallion Club and provide you with information about special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you.
If we do not collect, hold, use or disclose your personal information, or if you do not consent, then we may not be able to provide our full range of services to you.
