We’re always keeping up with the current guidelines on events and catering during the Covid-19 pandemic. We understand it can be hard to stay on top of the regulations and interpret the ever-changing information provided by the government, so we will be sure to update this page as and when anything changes, so you know where you stand with your event.
We’re continuously working hard to ensure we can continue to operate safely and to the highest standards of hygiene without compromising the quality of our service. We have put lots of measures in place such as temperature checking staff on arrival for shift, additional anti-bacterial gel available, side by side and back to back working wherever the 1m + rule isn’t possible within the kitchen, and of course our beautiful masks and visors!
We have worked through our menu to ensure everything we offer is Covid-19 safe, including our sharing boards being silver served by our masked staff, with each household having a separate bowl for vegetables and sides. Buffet style catering can also be served by our staff to ensure utensils are not being shared. Alternatively, if the lower guest head count means you’d prefer to go a little more premium with your menu, we love nothing more than serving up beautiful plates of scallops and fillet of beef for everyone!
The following information has been taken from the gov.uk website.
It is otherwise against the law for gatherings of more than six people to take place in private homes for locations in tier 1 (including gardens and other outdoor spaces). Businesses and venues following COVID-19 Secure guidelines can host larger groups. This is also the case for events in public outdoor spaces that are organised by businesses, charitable or political organisations, and public bodies, provided they take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of transmission, in line with COVID-19 Secure guidance and including completion of a risk assessment. This can include weddings, civil partnership ceremonies and funerals (which we advise should be limited to no more than 30 people for funerals and 15 for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies), religious ceremonies and services, community activities and support groups. Any other gathering in an outdoor space or in a private home (or garden) must not be any larger than six people.
We understand that this is an uncertain time for anyone planning a wedding or event, and will work with you every step of the way, offering all the flexibility possible to ensure you get your dream day, whenever it may be.
