We are, of course, very excited to open our doors, but are also very aware that in order to do this we need to make changes to the way we operate until the government advises we can return to normal. Our priority is the safety of both customers & the staff at The Ship, so for the foreseeable future this is what a visit to the Ship will be like;
Our opening times are 12pm-10.30pm Wed to Sat & 12-10pm Sunday
Food will be available 12-2.30pm & 6pm-9pm Wed to Sat & 12-4 on Sunday
To enter the pub, customers will need to use the front gate. You will be met there by a member of our team, who will take your temperature & register your arrival. NB. Our front door will no longer be used to enter & will now be exit only. Entry will not be allowed within 30 minutes of closing time.
All names & contact details of at least one member of your party must be taken to assist in track & trace, this info will be kept for at least 21 days after your visit. You will then be advised to use the hand sanitizer provided, before sitting at your table. We will be operating a one-way system & there will be signs around the building to help you with this. We are serving food with a reduced lunch & dinner menu. These will be on single use menus.
We will only be offering table service for the time being. No customers are allowed to stand around the bar area
- Our car park is still available to customers, but vehicle access is only available via South Road and you will no longer be able to access the Ship directly from the car park. Once parked up, customers should exit through the new side gate on to Ship Lane and turn left up onto West Street and then enter through the main gate.
- Any member of staff who is in close contact with customers will be wearing a face mask & tables will be cleaned after every booking.
- Both sets of Toilets will be in use but will be on a one in one out basis. These will also be cleaned regularly throughout the day, as will all door handles. There will be hand sanitizer stations in the pub for your use.
As we will only be providing table service, booking is advisable, especially for busy times. Bookings can be made for a maximum of 3 hours. Book by calling us on 01832 273918. Only 2 households can sit together inside & up to 6 people from 6 different households can sit together outside, obviously still maintaining social distancing as much as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation during this time – we look forward to welcoming you!
