It has contact phone numbers in case that helps. I'm sorry - don't know about the holidays, but I'm sure they'll tell you.

I don't know if he does this every year. Tue Apr 01 12:23:19 -0700 2008 3547028 64584 PhilD 3 3552240 Looks like we have confirmation below. He's a wise man to take time off. Maybe he'll need rest time after being host at the Great British Menu do in June. :-) Wed Apr 02 05:26:41 -0700 2008 3549944 11939 zuriga1 1 3552214 Can't vouch for this year but it was certainly closed last year (2007). Hinds Head Hotel was open, but not the Fat Duck. Wed Apr 02 05:09:20 -0700 2008 3546955 24646 ali patts
