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.

Face Coverings

Following changes in the guidance from the U.K. Government this evening, face coverings will be mandatory for all customers inside the premises who are not eating and drinking from Friday 24th July.

We know it’s not ideal. We know it’s short notice. We know some of you may be unprepared, so tomorrow we’ll have a small stock of masks to help people out, but as you can imagine we can’t enter into the free face mask business in the long term.

Thank you for your continued support. So far everyone has been wonderfully understanding given the circumstances.
