1. Informational & Archival Purpose
OvenMenu is an independent digital culinary directory that collects, organizes, and digitizes restaurant menus across the United Kingdom. Our primary purpose is to enhance consumer transparency, streamline dining discovery, and offer price comparisons in British Pounds (£). We are not a direct restaurant vendor, food ordering intermediary, or culinary delivery provider.
2. UK Intellectual Property & Fair Dealing
The proprietary source code, interface designs, site architecture, branding, search algorithms, and structured database layouts of OvenMenu are protected under the copyright and intellectual property laws of the United Kingdom.
Restaurant Trademarks & Menu Content: All restaurant names, registered trademarks, logos, dish descriptions, and menu data displayed on this website remain the sole intellectual property of their respective trademark holders and proprietors. OvenMenu indexes, reformats, and presents this data under UK Fair Dealing provisions (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) and descriptive nominative use under the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 strictly for public reporting, consumer review, and price comparison purposes.
3. Accuracy of Menu Prices & Availability
While we strive to keep all archived menus and prices updated to reflect current UK dining offerings:
- Restaurant menus, dish compositions, seasonal specials, beverage prices, and operating hours change frequently without prior notice.
- Prices displayed are typically inclusive of standard UK VAT where indicated by venues, but exclude optional discretionary service charges (often 12.5% in London and major UK cities) or delivery fees.
- We make no guarantees regarding the immediate availability of any specific dish or the absolute precision of menu prices at the time of your visit.
- We strongly advise patrons to verify menu choices and prices directly with the restaurant before placing orders.
4. Permitted Use & Code of Conduct
When using OvenMenu, you agree to use our services solely for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You expressly agree not to:
- Employ automated bots, web scrapers, spiders, or data-extraction tools to scrape our database or duplicate our menu directory without written permission.
- Engage in any activity that interferes with, overburdens, or impairs the proper operation of our servers and infrastructure.
- Attempt to bypass security measures, probe vulnerabilities, or gain unauthorized access to backend systems.
- Submit fraudulent, abusive, or spam communications through our contact or submission portals.
5. Third-Party Links & Aggregators
Our website may feature links directing you to official restaurant websites, online reservation portals, and third-party delivery services (such as Deliveroo, Just Eat, or Uber Eats). These links are provided for your convenience only. OvenMenu does not endorse, control, or assume liability for the practices, products, pricing, or terms of third-party platforms.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by English law, OvenMenu, its operators, contributors, and technical partners disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, losses, or expenses arising from:
