What we collect and why
Contact form submissions
Name, email address, optional phone number, and the message you send us. We need this to reply to your enquiry. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR) where you ask us to do something, or legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) where you just want to chat.
Catering and consultancy enquiries
The above plus event details — date, party size, budget. Lawful basis: performance of a contract.
Reservations
Bookings are taken by our reservation partner FoodieBook. We can see the booking summary; FoodieBook holds the underlying data under their own policy.
Analytics
If — and only if — you click Accept all in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. We never use this data for advertising. Lawful basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time via the Manage cookies link in the footer.
How long we keep your data
- Contact / catering / consultancy form submissions — up to 24 months from the last reply, then deleted, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
- Reservation data — held by FoodieBook under their retention policy.
- Analytics data — Google Analytics retention is set to 14 months.

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the providers we need to run the business:
- Hostinger (hosting & email infrastructure, EU/UK)
- FoodieBook (reservations, UK)
- Google (Analytics, only if you consented; data may transfer to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework / UK extension)
