Privacy Policy

Plain language, because it should be. This page explains what happens to your information when you visit this website.

The short version

We do not run advertising trackers, and we do not sell anything about you to anyone. The only thing you can submit on this site is the contact form on our Find Us page, and it goes straight to the pub. There is no newsletter signup and no account to create. If you want to reach us, you can also call or email us the old fashioned way.

What we collect

If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, message, and phone number if you choose to give it. That's emailed to the pub and also kept in storage, so your enquiry isn't lost if the email happens to fail to send. We use it only to reply to you. This site runs no analytics tracking you across the web, and the form is protected against spam by a hidden field and a limit on how often it can be submitted. Like every website, our host also records ordinary technical information (such as the pages requested and the time) to keep the site online and secure.

Services embedded on this site

• Google Maps. The map on our Find Us section is loaded from Google. When it loads, Google may set cookies and receive your IP address, under Google’s privacy policy.
• Online ordering. Our Order Online button takes you to our ordering partner, Moduurn. Anything you enter there (your name, order and payment details) is handled by them under their own privacy policy, not by this website.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own for ordinary visitors. Cookies are only used for staff signing in to edit the website, and they do nothing except keep that person signed in. The Google Maps embed above may set its own cookies.

Calling, emailing, or using the form

However you reach us, we use what you tell us only to answer you and to hold your booking. We do not add you to any mailing list.

Your choices

You can block cookies in your browser settings and this site will still work. If you would like to ask what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable time, as required by British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada’s PIPEDA.
