The Craven Arms Enborne.

We would like to thank you for your great feedback and cooperation in helping us create a safe yet social environment. The world of the pub has changed and as well wanting to make the experience fun we also want to create a safe environment for you and our team.

We have a new exciting addition to our garden. You can now dine and drink in our wonderful tipi. With social distancing we can sit up to 50 people. With gin bar, natural air, fire pits and heating for the colder weather it really will be nice and cosy for you to enjoy whatever the weather.

Due to the new government guidelines we have issued the following procedures that we ask are respected. We understand that this is different to the normal so we have put these measures in place to ensure we can operate smoothly and safely. 

It is no longer mandatory to wear a mask whilst entering, leaving or using the toilets on the premises.  If you wish a mask can still be worn!
With the recent spread of Omricon our staff will be wearing masks when serving you.  If you require a table that is distanced from other guests or are feeling nervous please just let us know.



 We have an online table booking form. This can be booked through our website
 We cannot take bookings through Facebook or social media. These are not constantly monitored at all times.
 Tables can be booked in advance through our website.
 You can book inside the pub, outside garden or the tipi tent which is heated and suited for all weather.
 Please be aware that if you have not booked a table through our online app and just arrive at the pub there may be a chance especially in summer months we will not be able to accommodate you. If we do have a free table you can book this on site or if you do not have access to a website we can do this on your behalf. However this cannot be guaranteed.
 Tables can only be held for 15 minutes. After this it will be considered a no show and you will be charged for this. As we are staggering bookings to avoid queues and maintain a safe environment we have to stick to this.
 Tables are limited to 2.5 hour time limits. 
 We have an even amount for dining only tables and drinking and dining.
 We ask for a 48 hour cancellation notice for all other tables.  We have had many no shows so unfortunately this will affect future bookings.  or parties of ten people or over we now have to take a £5 deposit per head.

GARDEN AREA

 Each table will have a number and you can order drinks and food and pay from your table through our new secure app and through our website. All our menu and drinks selection are available on our site for you to order. Your order will come through to our till system and you will be served your drinks and/or food.
 The garden area cannot really accommodate table service so we do ask that you use our online app. This will enable us to serve you efficiently.  Alternatively you can order at the bar.
 We ask that children are kept with you at your table and are not running about close to other diners. . Adults must be with their children whilst they are playing. Unfortunately if children are seen to be running around or playing without supervision we will have to ask that they are seated at their booked seat.  We ask that this is done to show respect to other people using the pub so all can enjoy.
