I have spent the day on the telephone to our customers at The Folly Bistro, cancelling all their plans for the Festive period, including those who were due to join us on Christmas day.

I have been moved by the very generous outpouring of sympathy and words of support I have received over the past few days and would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our wonderful customers for their continued patronage of The Folly Bistro.

We, The Folly Team, wish you all a Very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you as soon as we are allowed.
Peter Ankin - General Manager

A message to our guests... Yesterday we received

A message to our guests...

Yesterday we received the new Government guidance on how best we as a community can help to fight against Covid-19. Please bear with us as we adjust our businesses to the new guidelines. If you have a later evening reservation with us at The Fox & Goose / The Folly Bistro, our reservations manager Carole will be in touch in the coming days to invite you to join us a little earlier in the evening. The rule of a maximum of 6 guests per party still applies. All of our guests are asked to sanitise your hands upon entry & wear a face covering when not seated at your table; upon arrival, departing the restaurant & when using our restrooms. Guests must remain seated - we insist that you do not come to the bar as usual. All customers must have vacated the restaurant by 10PM.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has supported us over the summer. Being able to open our doors once again was a welcome relief from the national lockdown. Our world is currently a constantly changing place & there are certainly new challenges ahead of us.

As the winter nights draw in, our doors may now have to close a little earlier & our team will be behind masks, but our passion for seasonal, local and freshly cooked food alongside welcoming, genuine hospitality will remain the same. We're still here, and we can't wait to welcome you again. We wouldn't be here without you all, thank you.

Is anybody else eagerly awaiting the return of ‘

Is anybody else eagerly awaiting the return of ‘The Great British Bake Off’ tomorrow evening?!

To celebrate Bake Off’s return we thought we would post some of our favourite desserts (admittedly not all are bakes!) from the last year at The Folly Bistro! 😋

Which would you love to see return to our menu soon? ✨
