Local tiers and what they mean

Following the easement of national restrictions, Bedford has been placed in a ‘high alert’ tier 2 category. This means we can return our tables and chairs and continue to offer our services, at the tables and to take away, if we remain ‘Covid Secure’ 

Please note that at this time you should not visit us with mixed households, this is against the official guidance applied to this level of restrictions for an indoor space.

This easement will be a welcome relief to many 

and a move in the right direction for a return to normality. 

That said, we will ask that when you visit us please remain extra vigilant, 

follow the latest advice from official sources, keep your distance, 

remain seated at your tables and use the NHS test and trace app. 

Test and trace will be mandatory if you would like to eat in with us.

All of our pervious precautions will still be active when we re-open. some of these for your reassurance include, regular staff handwashing, high touch sanitisation, table sensitisation after each guest, hand gel available, hand washing available, 

contact free service available when using card payments.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Following an announcement from the Prime minister today (20.03.2020) in relation to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. It is with massive regret that we must inform of an immediate, temporary closure. 

On review, We have been unable to diversify the operation sufficiently to satisfy a basis level of customer and staff safety, in the current situation, as such we will close temporarily and anticipate a 6-8 week pause of services. 

Updates will be available when we have more information from official sources.

We look forward to welcoming you back when we can.
