But please also be aware that, like many of you, we expect restrictions to be reimposed on hospitality business soon after the festive season. As such we’re not entirely sure what the plan will be for January. All we can say is that we’ll keep you up to date.In the meantime, the whole team here would like to thank everyone for their support over the last twelve months, and wish you all the very best for Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

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!
