CV-19 RISK ASSESSMENT

CV-19 MEASURES

There is nothing more important to us than our guests and our team’s well-being. While we can’t wait to welcome you back to our restaurant, you will definitely notice that things look a little different and notice that we have made changes that provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for everyone.

 

We will ensure that we adhere to all guidelines set out by the Government and the team will be constantly monitoring and ensuring that we go above and beyond to create a safe environment when you visit our restaurants.

 

OUR GUESTS

We ask that our guests familiarise themselves with and adhere to Government guidelines when visiting our restaurant.

Guests are asked to make a booking on our website and ensure that their contact details (email and phone number) are correct.

Guests must wear a face-mask when entering the property.

Guests can remove face-mask only when seated.

Guests must wear face-mask back whenever they leave their seats including toilet visits.

 

If a guest or any of their party are feeling unwell, especially if they have a high temperature, new persistent cough or a loss of taste or smell; or if anyone in their party think they may have been exposed to the virus in the past 14 days; guests are asked to contact our team to cancel their booking.

 

BOOKING

Online reservations will be taken for tables of up to 6 guests of one household or more.

Any reservation of over 6 guests will be taken personally so that our team can speak to the guest and confirm how many households will be dining together.

All guests are encouraged to make a reservation online and booking times will be staggered to reduce the number of guests arriving at one time.

Guests’ details will be recorded and saved for 21 days in accordance with Government guidelines and to aid the track and trace system.

We have assessed third party deliveries and procedures have been put in place to restrict access to the restaurant and back of house areas.

Our food preparation area and service area have been assessed and maximum numbers of staff are in place via the scheduling, in order to facilitate social distancing during service.

Where social distancing cannot be adhered to due for short periods of time to the nature of chefs work, chefs will work side by side or back to back.

Our chefs will use a disposable plastic spoon for tasting which will be thrown away after every use.

Access to changing rooms will be restricted to ensure social distancing can be adhered to.

Contractors will be booked to carry out works and repairs at the properties out of hours where possible. If urgent work needs to be carried out during opening hours contractors will be made aware of company hygiene and social distancing procedures.
