  7. Seating will be arranged so as to permit social distancing between households. 2m distancing will be clearly marked elsewhere to enable customers to maintain a safe distance.
  8. The function room bar only will be open, as this allows far easier social distancing, and a one way flow of customers. All one way systems will be clearly marked. A maximum of 30 customers will be permitted in the function room at any time to permit adequate social distancing. A maximum of 138 customers will be allowed in the premises in total at any one time, spread across 23 tables.
  9. One way routes to toilets will be clearly marked.
  10. All doors (excluding fire doors) will be fixed open where feasible to minimize contact points.
  11. Signs outside toilets will inform users of a maximum occupancy, the need for “one in, one out”, and safe queuing guidelines, with distances marked on the floor. If required, additional toilet facilities will be provided.
  12. Signs inside the toilet will remind customers of the need for thorough hand washing, and what this entails. Paper towels will be provided, and it is suggested that customers use these top turn taps on and off.
  13. “Sanitisation stations” will be provided at the site entrance, exit, and toilets, enabling customers to use hand gel and paper towels to further enhance hygiene.
  14. All staff will be adequately trained in their responsibilities, and to ensure they are aware of the latest and best hygiene practices for Covid-19 control.

  19. All brewery deliveries will be contact free, and all items brought into the premises cleaned with a suitable disinfectant.
  20. An accessible area will be reserved in which seating for up to 6 people is a minimum of 2 metres apart, to be used by those who are considered clinically vulnerable after 6th Although the club would discourage clinically vulnerable customers from attending at this time, it is recognised that official guidelines permit them to do so from 6th July, and as such extra measures will be taken to ensure their safety.
  21. A record log of compliance with all procedures as above will be kept, including the list of attendees for 21 days. This will form a “Covid-file”, which will be kept as a record of these adherences.
  22. Guidance, procedures and risk assessments will be published on the club website to ensure visibility to the public, A hard copy will also be made available on request.

Covid-19 Staff Awareness Programme: update 01/07/2020

The club acknowledges that this is a difficult time, with many people keen to get back to pubs after a long absence, However, it is essential that we operate in a safe, secure manner at all times, and this includes in response to the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, for which we have introduced a number of measures (see Procedures & Measures). All staff (including voluntary staff) must read the following guidelines, and sign to say they have read, understood, and agree to adhere to the following regulations and requirements.

 

  1. Staff must not attend work if they feel unwell with symptoms of covid-19, or are self-isolating, and if any symptoms develop whilst at work they must inform their manager immediately, and will be sent home, where they are advised to follow government guidelines on isolation. Staff who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable (those who are “shielding”) should remain shielding and will not be asked to rerun to work.
  2. All staff must be familiar with the latest guidelines on social distancing, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/staying-alert-and-safe-social-distancing/staying-alert-and-safe-social-distancing-after-4-july. Briefly, this requires that people should aim to stay at least two metres away from anyone outside of their household (or social bubble), or where this is not feasible, one metre plus extra precautions, such as ensuring no face to face seating.
  3. Staff should also familiarise themselves with the latest guidelines for opening pubs, restaurants etc, available at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/restaurants-offering-takeaway-or-delivery. Briefly, this states that pubs, restaurants etc may reoprn from 4th July, but must ensure they make themselves “Covid secure”. The steps taken by the club to ensure this are outlined in our Procedures & Measures document, and detailed in our risk assessment document.
  4. Staff must ensure that all surfaces are cleaned for a minimum of 30 seconds with warm soapy water, followed by a disinfectant spray, prior to the start and at the end of each shift. These surfaces include all tables, bar tops, doors and door handles, handrails, etc. Additionally, all tables must be cleaned with a suitable disinfectant between customer booking slots. Contact points, which include all door handles, taps etc must be cleaned as above every hour, and the record log signed to say this has been completed. Particular attention should be paid to toilets in cleaning.
  5. Only customers who have booked a table will be permitted to enter. One staff member will greet customers at the gate, ensure we have the correct details, then show them to their allocated table.
  6. Customers will be asked to place drinks orders via a text service, including their table or bench number. The phone will be kept behind the bar. Orders should be dealt with in the order they come through, by the member of staff designated to pouring drinks, whilst wearing gloves. Gloved hands should never touch your face, or a contact point (publically available door handles etc.), and must be changed immediately if they do so.
  7. Drinks should be taken to the table by the third member of staff, and left for the customer in a socially distanced manner. It may be necessary to place drinks a short distance from the bench and request that customers collect them. Payment should then be taken, preferably via contactless payment.
  8. Staff must wash their hands thoroughly and regularly. Thoroughly means with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds in accordance with government guidelines, and regularly means as often as is practical, but especially after contact with any contact points surface or other source of potential transmission.
  9. The designated First Aider for each shift must wear gloves, a face mask and an apron (which will be provided in the first aid kit) if they are attending to a first aid issue.
  10. Wearing gloves and thorough hand washing may increase the risk of dermatitis, and us as such staff are advised to use emollients to reduce such risks. Staff should be aware of the symptoms of dermatitis, and report any suspected cases to their line manager immediately. Please speak to your line manager if you have any concerns or questions regarding this.
  11. Other PPE can be worn if desired by the individual, but the club notes that it has not been shown to be an effective way to prevent covid-19 transmission, and is not a substitute for good hygiene practices outlined above.
  12. All drinks will be served in single use containers. This can be cans or bottles if appropriate, or single use plastic glasses otherwise.
  13. Bins will provided at each table, and these should be lined with two bags. Customers will be asked to use the bins provided, but staff must ensure that any glassware, cans or bottles are placed in these bags. When full, the bags must be tied, and left in a secure location for 72 hours, before being disposed of.
  14. If you have any concerns with any advice, or witness any issues which you think need addressing, please contact Ali Poll, Director of Bar & Function Operations, on 07825294741 ASAP.
