The Old Inn

Both Simon & myself are really looking forward to meeting all and looking forward to an exciting future running The Old Inn. Normally we would not ask our customers to be sensible and considerate of the most at risk and continuing with a virus free environment. But these times are NOT normal so, the following are points that we must stick to......

The entrance will be managed and you will be directed to an available seating area. You will also be asked to whatsapp your name and contact number for the Track N Trace. These details are protected and confidential and will be destroyed after 28 days.

Please use the hand wash facilities situated at all entrances, toilets and areas around the pub and garden.

NO ONE is to come to the bar to order.... We will be offering table service, inside and out. Making our feet less sore we are asking all to download an app called Round. You can then order , pay and receive your order with maximum ease.

Please do NOT all use the toilet facilities at once. They will be cleaned every 30 minutes when possible or hourly. We are asking you all to stay vigilant and sensible. If the toilets are in use PLEASE wait patiently before entering.

Depending on the weather we are planning on putting seating around the carpark and smoking shelter. If you want to bring a blanket and sit on the grass please do. Both areas inside the pub will be laid out with the social distancing in mind. We would like to accommodate everybody that wants to come in, please be aware that after a certain period of time we may need to use the seating for other customers.

I will post a form on facebook, if possible could you complete and return to us before Saturday? This will help us to monitor numbers and stagger meals when applicable. You can also book a table for drinks or drinks and food.

Unfortunately the newly constructed kids play area is out of bounds for now. We will have restrictions in place. BUT we cant have anybody playing on it.

We want everybody to have a great time this weekend. We totally understand the impact the lockdown has had on all of us. Please can you all maintain the guidelines on arrival, during and after copious amounts of alcohol!! We are asking a lot of some, we know but we don’t want to increase the safety level we have put in place. We want to remain open, so if we have to we will use necessary means to ensure the safety of the majority over an individual.

A big thank you to our staff. Helping get the pub ready and working extremely hard and with us to give our customers a great opening weekend at The Old Inn.

Last but not least a big thank you to our customers for patiently waiting for the pub to open, their continued loyalty, and understanding the extra work we are having to do to make sure we all have a great time this weekend.

Please be aware the food menu is limited to burger and chips for this weekend. Due to order restrictions we only have Pedigree real ale on tap at the moment. We are waiting on other ales to arrive. All draught ciders and lagers are available.

Opening hours 12-11.00 Saturday, 12-10.30 Sunday Food served 12-4 both days.

Looking forward to meeting you all properly,

Simon & Debbie
