Pubs are open again, but only being sensible can keep them that way
NOW that pubs are reopening, here is Camra’s simple guide to using your local in line with Government guidance, writes Neville Grundy.
With many pubs facing a long road to recovery, we want you to support them (your own health permitting) and save them from permanent closure.
Who you can go to the pub with:
If you are sitting inside, members of your household and one other household (or support bubble).
If you are sitting outside, members of your household and one other household (or support bubble), or you and up to five other people from different households.
What you should expect:
In most circumstances, order and be served at your table.
To see signs telling you where to go and how to use the pub safely.
To give details (usually name and phone number) to help with contact tracing.
No live entertainment or loud music – yet.
If the weather takes a turn for the worse, you may not be allowed to shelter inside.
You can help by:
Listening to the staff and following instructions on signs.
Waiting queues.
Washing your hands and using sanitising stations, especially on arrival or after using toilet.s
Ordering remotely where you can through an app or website.
Staying in your allocated seating area as much as possible.
Using contactless payments where possible. patiently in
Other advice:
Do return the pub if you can: pubs need our support to help them through this difficult time.
Plan ahead and book in advance where possible.
Don’t come to the pub if you, or someone in your household or support bubble, has symptoms of Covid19.
Stay at home and follow NHS advice.
If you can’t go to the pub, and for pubs that can’t reopen safely, Camra has a beer ordering app, Brew2You (brew2you.co.uk), which allows you to order drinks and food for takeaway and collection from your local pubs and breweries.
Southport & West Lancs Camra branch wishes you an enjoyable and, most importantly, safe return to your local.
Cheers!
