TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE AND SALE
1.    INTRODUCTION AND OUR ROLE
1.1. Company details: LAKE VIEW is a company registered in England and Wales with registered company number 10200098, whose registered office is at Lake View Country House, Lake View Drive, Grasmere, Cumbria LA22 9TD.

1.2. VAT number: Our VAT number is GB 243 5870 96.

1.3. Product Orders: We provide a way for you to communicate your orders (“Order” or "Orders") for products (“Product” or "Products") for eat-in at, or takeaway from, our restaurant at The Good Sport, Grasmere (“Restaurant”) displayed on the Website. If in the future we offer Products at other venues including trade and general public shows, the same terms and conditions apply.

1.4. Room bookings: We also provide a way for you to book accommodation ("Room" or "Rooms") at Lake View Country House ("The Guest House") by means of links from the Website to a booking engine ("The Booking Button"). Similar functionality is available through a small number of selected booking channels such as Booking.com, Expedia, AirBnB etc. These third party sites make enquiries from us as to room availability, but the sites themselves are not under our direct control. For terms and conditions of use of these, please refer to the individual channels. If in the future we offer Rooms at other places, the same terms and conditions apply.

2.    WEBSITE ACCESS AND TERMS
2.1. Website access: You may access some areas of the Website without making an Order or registering your details with us. Most areas of the Website are open to everyone.

2.2. Acceptance of terms: By accessing any part of the Website, you indicate that you accept these Website Terms. If you do not accept these Website Terms, you should leave the Website immediately, and you will not be able to order any Products through the Website.

2.3. Revision of terms: We may revise these Website Terms at any time. You should check the Website regularly to review the current Website Terms, because they are binding on you. You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you place an Order through us.

2.4. Responsibility: You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Website. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your Internet connection are aware of these Website Terms and that they comply with them.

3.    YOUR STATUS
3.1. Capacity and age: By placing an Order through the Website, you warrant that:

• You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts with us or the Restaurant; and

• You are at least 18 years old.

3.2. Allergies and food intolerances: You acknowledge and agree that if you have a specific food allergy or intolerance, you will contact the Restaurant directly to check that the food is suitable for you, before placing your order directly with them. We do provide online information about allergen information on The Website, but if you have any questions or concerns you should ask directly. Our staff are not qualified to offer medical advice, and all decisions that you make are your own responsibility. Although the kitchen staff make every effort to keep allergens separate from other ingredients, we cannot guarantee that any prepared dishes are completely free of allergens such as gluten.

3.3. Alcohol:

• You acknowledge and agree that: it is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, alcohol in the UK, or for any person to buy, or attempt to buy, alcohol in the UK on behalf of any person who is under the age of 18, except in specific circumstances allowed by law in connection with eating a meal;

• If your Order includes any alcohol, you may be asked to provide proof of your age on collection or delivery of your Order. If you are unable to provide proof that you are aged 18 or over to the satisfaction of the Restaurant, or if the Restaurant reasonably believes that the alcohol you have ordered has been bought by you on behalf of someone under the age of 18, the Restaurant reserves the right not to complete the delivery of the alcohol to you.

​

4.    HOW TO MAKE AN ORDER AND HOW IT IS PROCESSED
4.1. The Restaurant

• Compiling your Order: Once you have selected the Products you wish to order from the Restaurant menu, and provided the other required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit your Order by clicking or selecting the "Pay Now" or similar button. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button; once you do so you will be entering into a contract with the Restaurant and errors cannot be corrected (subject to paragraph 4.1.2. below). 

• Amending or cancelling your Order: Once you have submitted your Order and your payment has been authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will you be entitled to a refund (please refer to paragraphs 4.1.4 and 5.6 for details of the process relating to rejected Orders and refunding of payment). If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact our Restaurant front-of-house staff as described in paragraph 6.3 and they will attempt to fulfil your requests with the kitchen staff. However, there is no guarantee that this will be possible, as the kitchen staff may have already started processing your Order.

• Payment authorisation: Credit and debit card payments are collected, processed, and authorised with the card issuer by DNA Payments Ltd and not by us. DNA Payments Ltd is a UK company providing global finance tools which are fully compliant with relevant laws (please see https://dnapayments.com/ for details). LAKE VIEW do not collect or hold credit or debit card details in relation to Orders from the Restaurant. Where any payment you make is not authorised for whatever reason, your Order will not be processed or communicated to the Restaurant.

• Processing your Order and Restaurant rejections: On successful receipt and authorisation of your Order, we will attempt to notify you by email that your Order has been received and is being processed (this communication assumes that the email details you have supplied as part of the Order are accurate). Please note that any confirmation page that you may see on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each confirm that you have a contract for the sale of Products with the Restaurant but does not necessarily mean that your Order will be fulfilled by the Restaurant. We aim to accept all Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if your Order cannot be fulfilled. However, the Restaurant has the ability to reject Orders at any time because it has been unable to obtain sufficient ingredients, is too busy, due to weather conditions or for any other reason. In doing so, the Restaurant will be in breach of their agreement with you and any payment made in respect of the order will be returned to you in accordance with paragraph 5.6 below.

• Fulfilment of your Order: Estimated times for collections are provided by the Restaurant and are only estimates. Neither we nor the Restaurant guarantees that Orders will be available for collection within the estimated times. During busy times there may be additional delays.

• Booking tables: We provide several ways to reserve tables for groups to dine at particular times, including through the Website. This reservation system is entirely separate from the process of booking rooms at the Guest House. The Restaurant will endeavour to satisfy requests for reservations, but cannot guarantee that a booking will always be possible at the desired time. The table booking engine is provided by a third party and does not always send requests to our system in a timely manner: we are not responsible for any such delays. We encourage you to check directly with the Restaurant concerning your reservation. 

 

4.2. The Guest House

• Booking Rooms: You can select particular Rooms to book at The Guest House. Each Room is different, and you are responsible for ensuring that the Room or Rooms that you have selected meet your requirements. The Website contains descriptions and pictures of each Room. We endeavour to keep descriptions and images up to date, but it is possible that decoration or rearrangement of furniture might have happened since particular pictures were taken. The name of the Room or Rooms you have booked will be contained in the initial confirmation email that you receive directly from us - some booking channels do not use our room names but make up their own, for which we are not responsible. Additional emails will be sent before your arrival as necessary.

• Amending or cancelling your Room booking: Full details of our cancellation policy will be supplied with your confirmation email, and we encourage you to read these. Please also read our Cancellation Policy in full..

• Payment authorisation: Credit and debit card payments are collected, processed, and authorised with the card issuer by DNA Payments Ltd, and not by us. In some cases, card details are also held by the booking channel you have chosen, for example Booking.com, Expedia, AirBnB or related organisations. For more information please refer to the individual websites of these organisations. Our normal practice is to seek a deposit of approximately half the booking amount not long after the booking has been made, and the remaining part a few days before your arrival. You are welcome to contact us at any stage to confirm the state of your booking and payment. Please also read our Payment Policy in full.

5.    PRICE AND PAYMENT
5.1. VAT and other costs: Prices will be as quoted on the Website. These prices include VAT but may exclude other incidental costs imposed by the Restaurant or Guest House. These will be added to the total amount due where applicable.

5.2. Incorrect pricing: This Website lists many food items, and it is possible that some of the items may be listed at incorrect prices. If the correct price for an Order is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will normally contact you before the relevant Order is fulfilled. In such an event, neither we nor the Restaurant is under any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at the incorrect lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.

5.3. Payment methods: Payment for Orders must be made by an accepted credit or debit card through the Website or in cash or by accepted debit or credit card to the Restaurant at the point of Order fulfilment.

5.4. Card payments: If you pay online by credit or debit card, you may be required to show the card to the Restaurant at the time of collection as proof of identification and so that staff members can check that the card corresponds with the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions; this may result in payments taking up to sixty (60) days to be deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit or debit card.

5.5. Discount vouchers: A discount may apply to your Order if you use a promotional voucher or code recognised by the Website and endorsed by LAKE VIEW, for example if you are staying at the guest house at the time of Order. If you are entitled to this discount, you are responsible for making staff at the Restaurant aware of your entitlement to this discount, or correctly completing the relevant entry form on the Website.

5.6. Rejected Orders: Because of standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your Order is subsequently rejected by the Restaurant (as described in paragraph 4.4 above) or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither LAKE VIEW nor the Restaurant will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.

6.    CUSTOMER CARE
6.1. General: Customer care is extremely important to us. Subject to paragraphs 6.5 and 11, we will therefore try to assist you where possible if you have any problems with your Order. In the first instance it is usually most effective to contact our Restaurant front-of-house staff directly. Alternatively, you can contact us by calling the telephone number shown on the Website or using the email address supplied there.

6.2. Questions about your Order: If your Order is taking longer than expected or you have any other problems with your Order, in the first instance it is usually most effective to contact our Restaurant front-of-house staff directly. Alternatively, you can contact us by calling the telephone number shown on the Website or using the email address supplied there, and we will endeavour to help once we become aware of the communication.

6.3. Changing or cancelling your Order: If you wish to change or cancel your Order at the Restaurant after it has been submitted and payment has been authorised, in the first instance it is usually most effective to contact our Restaurant front-of-house staff directly. Alternatively, you may contact us as described above and we will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that change or cancellation will be possible, as the kitchen staff may have already started processing your Order.

6.4. Complaints or feedback: In the event that you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided by a Restaurant, please contact us by calling the telephone number shown on the Website or using the email address supplied there, and we will endeavour to resolve the matter. 

6.5. Compensation: If you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided by the Restaurant and wish to seek a refund, a proportionate price reduction or any other compensation, it is usually quickest to contact the front-of-house Restaurant directly to lodge your complaint. Alternatively, you may contact us as described above.
