We have created a gold standard in our “A Generous Serving of Safety” promise. This means that we strive to provide the safest possible environment for your visit by providing easy access to hand sanitiser, keeping some measures to control distancing such as screens in some instances and barriers at our buffet areas, reducing touch points where possible and increasing levels of cleaning and disinfection throughout the restaurant using products certified according to European Standards and effective against COVID-19.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve rolled out additional safety measures across all our restaurants. These include but are not limited to:
Hand Sanitising
Hand sanitisers will be placed at the entrance and exit and in other high traffic areas.
Maintaining Distance
Protective equipment for our teams
We’ve provided our team members with protective equipment including hand sanitiser, gloves and aprons for cleaning. Following the government guidance on the need to wear face masks in a restaurant setting, all our teams have been provided with face masks and will be wearing them if they choose to do so in England and Wales and will continue to wear them in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
It is not mandatory for our kitchen teams to wear visors or face coverings during service, but can if they feel more comfortable to do so.
Reducing Touch Points
Increased Cleaning
We have a longstanding partnership with Diversey – one of the world’s leading suppliers of cleaning and hygiene products. Diversey provide products to a vast range of industries across the world, including some used by the NHS and other healthcare settings. We are using chemicals that sanitise our restaurants to the standard of EN14476 for viricidal efficacy. This means the products used are proven to be effective in killing COVID-19.
Our rigorous training scheme ensures our team members have a well-informed understanding of the disease and its transmission. It provides guidance on appropriate social distancing and use of personal choice equipment (PCE), as well as physical and mental health monitoring and support.
We also have a dedicated team listening forum, with representatives from across our estate, to gain regular feedback and insights.
We have made a significant investment into the provision of a range of PCE, including gloves, aprons and hand sanitisers. Following government guidance, all our teams have been provided with face masks. Additionally, our kitchen team members have been provided with visors if they would prefer to wear one when they are working in the kitchen.
In the unlikely event you are not satisfied with the standard of cleanliness at the restaurant please alert the General Manager as soon as possible and they will be more than happy to help resolve the issue.
Our line managers check in with their team members regularly to check on their wellbeing
If a team member is unwell, they will be sent home immediately and advised to call 111.
