To all our members,

We hope you have all been keeping safe and well; as you may be aware, the club will be re-opening on Thursday 6th August from 5pm. We are following the government’s guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19 and have put the following measures in place for the comfort and safety of our members and employees. We will keep these measures under review and update you of any changes, as necessary. To avoid disappointment or the possibility of being turned away, please read the information below before visiting.

Please do not visit and stay at home if you, or someone you live with, has any of the following symptoms or you are isolating under government guidelines.

  • A high temperature
  • A new, continuous cough
  • A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.

Initially, we will be open to members only and we will be keeping record of all members who visit us, in line with government guidance. Handwashing facilities and hand sanitiser stations will be provided on entry to the club.

If you begin to feel unwell whilst visiting us, please let a committee member know and vacate the premises as soon as possible. If any member contracts COVID-19, we will have to implement the track and trace system and the club will close for 14 days. Furthermore, if you suspect that anyone is ill whilst on site, please report it.

Please see our revised opening times below:

  • Thursdays 5-9pm
  • Fridays 4-10 pm
  • Saturdays 4-9pm
  • Sundays 3-9pm

These will be strictly adhered to and last orders will be called half an hour before closing. Please note that these times are under review and if our re-opening proves successful, we will also look to open between Monday and Wednesday.

Please be assured that the club is thoroughly cleaned every morning; we have been subject to a deep clean which occurred on Friday 31st July.

On arrival, you will be required to sanitise, sign in, order, pay and then find a table. We ask that members wishing to visit alone, seat themselves at a table with as few chairs as possible.

Children must be seated at all times to ensure social distancing guidelines are being followed, and that our other members feel comfortable. Should they wish to use the toilets, children must be supervised by an adult.

We will be limiting the number of members allowed on site, to ensure that social distancing guidelines can be followed. If poor weather ensues, we currently only have the capacity for 33 members indoors. We ask that you take this into consideration and respect other members who may want to use the club’s facilities.

Drinks will be served by way of table service only; where possible the same person will serve you to reduce the number of people our employees come into contact with. There will be no bar service and we ask that you do not congregate at the bar.

When you have finished your drinks, we ask that you place any empty glasses upside down in the dishwasher crates provided.

There will be marked routes indicating the direction of flow around the premises – please follow this one-way system.

Toilets will have limited entry; however, this is at our members discretion to police this sensibly themselves.

Doors and windows will be wedged open to reduce touch points and improve ventilation.

Initially, dogs will not be allowed inside the premises purely for hygiene reasons. If you require a bowl of water, please ask a member of staff to bring one to you outside.

For the time being, the pool room is completely out of bounds, however, this is under review.

We ask that any rubbish is disposed of correctly in the bins provided.

We will also be serving a limited stock which will include Guinness, Hogan’s Cider, Aspalls Cider, one guest ale, Staropramen and Carling. Mixers will include tonic, soda waters and some cans. Snacks will include nuts, some crisps, Mini Cheddars, and pork scratchings. Wines and spirits will be on sale as normal. We have also had to revise our price list.

It is the members own responsibility to follow the social distancing rules, and we ask that you show respect not only to your fellow members, but also to the bar staff.

We understand that these rules are trying, but they have been put in place to ensure your own safety as well as the safety of others. We hope that many of you will come back and support us and we thank-you for your co-operation during this challenging time.
