With the advice yesterday afternoon from the PM that the public are being asked to think carefully about how much time they spend in public places like pubs, we feel it’s sensible to reduce our opening hours. As the vast majority of our daytime customers are of an older generation, and therefore a higher risk demographic, as of Tuesday 17th March, we will be opening from 4pm.
We take our responsibility towards public safety really seriously and we’d ask you do the same. Please keep in mind all of the advice we’ve been given and if you feel you need to stay home, please do. If however you would like to come out and spend your time in our bar, there are a few things you could do to help us keep everybody as safe as possible. If you’re able to, could you use contactless payments where possible, and please could you bring your own empties back to the bar? Also please don’t be offended if you see the team handling your empties with disposable gloves. You’ll notice a bit of an upsurge in things being sprayed and wiped (sorry for the lemon fresh scent all over the place!) It mind sound trivial, but some of the ever popular board and table top games will be going away for a little while, you’ve no idea how difficult it is to sanitise Jenga blocks and Connect 4 counters! and again, please bear with us if your waiting at the bar while we wash our hands after wiping down your tables.
We can’t thank you all enough for the messages of support we’ve received recently and we hope to see as many of you as possible in what is quite a challenging time for our fledgling little indie business. To those of you who we won’t see for a while (including co-owner Linda, who is voluntarily isolating after a recent holiday to Spain) we hope it isn’t too long until our paths cross again.
Stay safe, look after yourselves, and each other. Much love, Jamie, Linda, Hayley, Ed and all the rest of Team Tuppenny. X
