What do we do as a pub? What staff precautions do we need to take, what precautions do we have to take? Just how many people will we be allowed to serve? Outside only? Inside but with social distancing? We literally have no idea, of how, let alone when.
The worry is of course that finishing the lockdown (i.e. when we can open) will come too soon. We are already trying to emulate other countries who have reduced their infection rate to either nil or a very acceptable level. We are not yet in that position, and if we were, are people ready to come out and socialise yet? Will mates want to come out but socially distance. That is so alien a concept they may decide to stay at home a bit longer.
So many – too many – variables.
One response to “Will we ever open?”
Hi Alan, Hope you are well.And you bloody well do open again. A grand opening is called for when safe. Possibly a Torrside takeover as they need the cash too.I can provide a couple of boxes of cider and maybe Preston can too. It is bloody hard but hope to see you soon. Stuart.
