These terms apply to your use of this website. By using it, you're agreeing to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
This website is operated by The Black Lion, 3 The Street, High Roding, Great Dunmow, Essex, CM6 1NT.
This website is here to share information about The Black Lion - our food, drink, events and history - and to let you get in touch, book a table, or apply for a job with us. Please use it for these purposes and not for anything unlawful or harmful to us or anyone else.
Submitting a booking form is a request, not a confirmed reservation. As the site says on our Book page, your booking isn't confirmed until you've heard back from us by email or phone. For larger group bookings, a deposit may be required to secure your table, as set out on our Book page.
We'll always do our best to honour bookings, but availability isn't guaranteed until we've confirmed it with you directly.
If you share a photograph, memory, or story with us through this website - for example for our History page - you confirm that you own it or have the right to share it, and you give us permission to use it on this website and in our other materials (such as social media or print) to help tell the story of The Black Lion. We'll always try to credit you if you'd like us to, and you're welcome to ask us to remove something you've shared at any time.
If you apply for a role with us through this website, the information you provide will be used to consider your application, in line with our Privacy Policy. Submitting an application doesn't guarantee an interview or a role.
The content on this website - including our text, photos, logo and design - belongs to The Black Lion or our licensors, unless stated otherwise. Please don't copy or reuse it without asking us first.
This website may link to other sites, such as our social media pages or local businesses on our Village Noticeboard. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices of sites we don't operate ourselves.
We do our best to keep this website accurate and up to date, but we can't guarantee it will always be error-free, uninterrupted, or entirely up to date - for example, opening hours or menu items may occasionally change faster than the website does. To the extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for any loss arising from your use of this website.
We may update these terms from time to time, for example as the website changes. Any updates will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you have any questions about these terms, please get in touch or write to us at The Black Lion, 3 The Street, High Roding, Great Dunmow, Essex, CM6 1NT.
