The Earl of Stamford
How The Earl of Stamford collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use this website or book a table with us.
This policy explains what personal information The Earl of Stamford collects when you use this website or send us a booking enquiry, how we use it, who we share it with and your rights. Last updated: October 2026.
This website is run by The Earl of Stamford, the pub on Front Street, Birstall, Leicester, LE4 4DQ, home to Sach’s Kitchen. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email info@earlofstamford.co.uk or call 0116 478 0383.
When you send us a booking enquiry through the form on our Contact page, we collect:
Your name, telephone number and email address
Your group size and requested date and time slot
Anything you choose to tell us in the “Additional information” box, such as a special occasion, accessibility needs or food allergies
If you tell us about a food allergy or a health need, we use it only to look after you during your visit. Please don’t include more personal information than we need.
If you phone, email or message us on social media, we keep the details you give us so we can reply and manage your booking.
To reply to your booking enquiry and manage your table booking
To contact you about your booking, for example if we need to change or confirm the details
To keep our website secure and protect our booking form from spam
We use your information because you have asked us to take a booking (steps at your request before a contract), and for our legitimate interest in running the pub and keeping the website secure. Where you share allergy or health information, we use it with your consent. We will not send you marketing emails, and we never sell your personal information.
Booking enquiries are emailed to us and saved securely in our website’s database. We share information only with trusted providers who help us run the website, acting on our behalf:
Digital Spa, who designs and maintains our website and receives a copy of form emails to make sure they arrive and the form keeps working
Our website hosting provider, which stores the website and its database
Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that booking enquiries are sent by a person and not a spam robot (see Google’s privacy policy)
We may also share information if the law requires it.
Takeaway orders are placed through Deliveroo and Just Eat, not through this website. When you order, they handle your details under their own privacy policies.
Our Reviews page and Home page can show our Google reviews and our Instagram feed using a service called Elfsight. These only load if you accept marketing cookies, and then Elfsight, Google and Instagram may set cookies and receive your IP address. Reviews show the name and photo that each reviewer made public on Google.
If you follow links to our Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Google pages, those companies handle your information under their own privacy policies.
Cookies are small files saved on your device. We use:
Necessary cookies, which make the website work and remember your cookie choices. These are always on.
Marketing cookies, used only if you accept them, for the Google reviews and Instagram feed.
Google reCAPTCHA on the booking form, which may set cookies to tell people from spam robots.
Our fonts are stored on our own website, so loading them shares nothing with Google. We don’t use analytics or advertising tracking on this website. You can change your choices at any time with the “Manage consent” button at the bottom of each page, or delete cookies in your browser settings.
We keep booking enquiries only as long as we need them to manage your booking and deal with any follow-up, and normally no longer than 12 months, after which we delete them.
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it or withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, email info@earlofstamford.co.uk or call 0116 478 0383. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
