*** Update *** Re-opening from midday Sunday 25th July for drinks, with food service resuming from Wednesday 28th July at 6:00pm.

As you are all aware Monday 19th July was  “Freedom Day” whereby the majority of restrictions have been lifted and common sense should prevail.

This means that it is now down to individual establishments to set their own guidelines, especially in hospitality.

Our intention is to safeguard everyone, members, guests and especially our “Crew” who are all young and have yet to be included in the “Grab and Jab” scheme and remain vulnerable.

I think we can all agree that the existing mode of operation within the club works. Going further, feedback received indicates that the majority of the membership support table service. However, we do appreciate individuals wishing to congregate at the bar, place their order and socialise as we used to. Unfortunately, we do not believe this scenario to be possible at present.

Moving forward, it seems sensible for the foreseeable future to continue what we have been doing, whereby you find yourself an unreserved table either inside or out and a member of staff will attend your table and serve you as we have thus far. We would still ask you to wear a mask whilst moving around inside, as will the staff

We would still ask for table sizes to remain limited to 6 people but if you are wishing to have a larger party please consult Brett prior to the date.

I would like to reiterate that given the rise in cases generally we think these are prudent measures to adopt, however we shall continually review the situation.

We look forward to welcoming you to the club once again
