If you know me or have been following recent posts you’ll know my love of food and eating out haha. So I’m beyond happy to be able to start eating at restaurants again, and most importantly safely!
Originally planned on waiting a few weeks before going to a restaurant but Francesca’s opening made us change our mind haha. Had such a great experience as expected! Staff wearing masks, social distance markers, hand sanitiser available, tables socially distanced, Perspex screens, single use condiments brought when requested and music not too loud. All the steps to make it a safe and still really enjoyable meal!
We also visited Pizza Express on its re-opening day which again was an excellent experience. Staff wore face masks, each table was socially distanced with a spare table attached where the waiter would place your order and you could place your empty plates so that serving could also take place as socially distanced as possible. Other measures taken included: music not too loud, hand sanitizer and single use condiments.
We also visited Neptunes fish and chip restaurant in Seahouses and it was great again to see how well measures were put in place. As all of the above mentioned and a one way in and out system, making it an enjoyable experience and still really safe.
The use of track and trace by taking contact details from each party was also used in all restaurants which is great for giving extra piece of mind and taking the right steps.
It was great to get back to a bit of new normality and important to support local businesses and restaurants again after such hard times!
