Dear Friends,

We are now open Wednesday to Sunday. Tables should be booked in advance. Also take-away collections at timed slots. Thursdays and Saturdays have a set menu (£15 two courses if you order in advance). Friday is Fish ‘n’ Chip night, and there’s Sunday lunch.

Well spaced tables inside the pub and lots of outdoor tables too, if you prefer.

SEE ALL THE MENUS

To try to keep us all safe, we are doing our best to work within the U.K. Laws and Guidelines and ask you, please, to accept these strange changes - they are the new way of life until we all get through this crisis. There are also now heavy fines in place for non-compliance both for businesses and customers.

First of all, if you feel unwell, or have any symptoms remotely connected to Covid-19 (a new, continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss of taste or smell) we respectfully ask you to save your visit for another day.

All food and drinks are table service ONLY. You must adhere to the Rule of Six and also wear a face covering when you are not seated at your table (this includes when going to the loo). The guidelines also ask us to remind customers with children that they are responsible for them at all times.

UK law prohibits us from serving anyone who refuses to give contact details for NHS Test and Trace. There is an NHS QR code poster which you can scan with your phone. If you don't have a phone, we will record your details and retain them for 21 days.

We still use disposable plates - this is for your safety. Brand new, straight from the box, no risk. There’s an excellent One-in-One out system for the loos - details on your table.

We have carried out a COVID-19 risk assessment, implemented the findings and we have scrupulous handwashing and hygiene procedures in place. We have lots of hand sanitizer for you too. We assure you that we are doing everything possible to keep us safe.

One last thing … we have had recent instances of people not showing up for reservations, no-shows! If you reserve and change your plans, please let us know. Otherwise we may have to start requesting credit card details to secure table bookings, something we have resisted for the 23+ years we have been here.

Thank you for your support - we look forward to seeing you.

Lynda, Gary & Josh. Bear and Ragged Staff, Bransford.
