The Grapevine has entered the twenty-first century and now takes card payments.

However, there are a few conditions.

1. In order to save time and because we do not have the wherewithal to provide receipts, we prefer to restrict payments to contactless only: thus no PIN required; no receipt given; a maximum transaction value of £100; and no cashback.
   
   
2. The system imposes a minimum spend of £1.
   
   
3. We make no extra charge for card transactions.
   
   
4. And please don’t ask us to hold your card behind the bar so that you can run up a tab – we’re still not that well organised!
   
   

We’ll review the situation as we go along, but in the meantime do let us know how the system works for you and how you think it might be improved.
