Covid Update, July 2021

by Thepantrychatham

As you’re probably already aware, the rules and laws around the pandemic are changing significantly in July.

First, whilst masks and social distancing are no longer legally required, they are still very much recommended. We are recommending those measures to our staff and volunteers and we are also recommending them to our customers – until seated. So if you’re moving around the inside of the building, waiting in the queue or engaging with staff at the till we (and they) would very much appreciate it if you could follow those requests where you’re able.

Secondly, table booking is not essential. We are back to our normal complement of seats inside and there’s lots of outdoor seating both on the patio and around the cliffs, tunnel entrance and surrounds.

Finally, there are no restrictions on group sizes either indoors or out.

And before we go, there’s one last bit of good news. The ever popular Fort Amherst Tunnel Tours are back on and can be booked online via: https://fortamherst.digitickets.co.uk/tickets

So here’s looking to a good summer!

Covid-19 Update, October 2020

by Thepantrychatham

We, like many venues are still being affected by the current pandemic and the changing information and advice from both central and local government. The current guidance is that:

  • Group bookings of more than 6 are not allowed.
  • We will not open beyond 10pm for private hire events.
  • Face masks should be worn by staff at all times and by customers when not sat at a table.
  • Customer information for the purposes of Track and Trace should be taken. You can scan the QR codes inside the venue in order to do this.

Please note that this guidance is likely to change with little to no notice, we will do our best to keep everyone up to date.

Should the situation deteriorate we will revert to takeaway only business while possible. Closure is very much our last option, but if that is the responsible thing to do then of course it is what we will do.
