The safety of our staff and customers is of paramount importance and we are have made our plans to reflect this at the Jinney Ring.

We are being guided by Government for the re-opening timetable, regulation and general advice.

Please see below our phased re-opening plan plus actions to reduce the spread of the virus.

Please be aware that we are a small business within old and quirky buildings, therefore social distancing measures will only be achievable with the co-oeration and thoughtfulness of our customers.

Gift Shop and Craft Units will be re-opening on shorter hours from Thursday 18th June.

Opening hours will be:
Thursday - Sunday 12 to 3pm
The Emergency 'Pop-up Village Shop' will also continue to operate into July on the above hours until Knightsgrove Farm Shop re-opens (this unit supplies similar products).

Some of the Craft Units plan to be open longer hours please visit their individual pages if you wish to visit them. Click here to visit their webpages It may also be advisable to phone ahead if you specifically wish to see them.
The restaurant and gardens will not be open to the public at this time.

There will be no access to public toilets at this point.

The Government have now announced the re-opeing of restaurant and pubs from early July. We are currently studying the guidance to ensure compliance but it is already clear that some of the requirements witll take some time to put in place.

We will start in the safest possible way by opening the gardens fro restaurant use first.

July 9th - The gardens and an outside and tented eating area will be available for customers, this will be table ordering and service.

We will be required to take details from all customers when we open up - this is to comply with government contact tracing rules. We will ask you for name of each member of the party and telephone number plus e-mail address. This information will be stored for 21 days and then destroyed.

Our menu will include drinks, ice cream, cake and some lunches.

All marquee and garden tables will be socially distanced and furniture should not be moved.
Tables will be for customers of the Café only and there will be limited access to the gardens.

Outside toilets will be open at this point.

We plan to open the marquee/garden café everyday but hours during this cafe start-up period may vary and will be weather dependent. Changes in status will be posted on our website where known in advance.

August (Date TBC) - Our inside main barn/conservatory area will re-open for full table waited service, including breakfasts, lunches and afternoon tea menus.

There will be limited movements for customers and the requisit social distancing rules will be applied as appropriate.
