Covid Rule Changes: 19th July

As you will be aware, on Monday 19 July the Government moved to the next phase of the pandemic regulations and all restrictions for hospitality venues were lifted. In this phase we are being encouraged to make ‘informed decisions about how to manage the risk to ourselves and others’. Here at the Case we take this change very seriously so have decided that our previous decision to take a much slower, steadier approach is the safer option for all our customers and volunteers. Even though we are now not required to provide table service or adhere to previous social distancing rules we do intend to keep in place some of our existing safety measures:

• retaining the full height screen around the bar

• seating at the bar will be unavailable

• visual reminders to respect a safe social distance, especially at the bar

• hand sanitizers and cleaning equipment will be available to customers and volunteers

• suitable ventilation through out the pub

• contactless payments preferred

• over 18s only inside the pub

Although no longer a legal requirement we will continue to display the NHS QR code for those who wish to use it.
