Cafes and restaurants across the country are working out how to restart their businesses.


Boris Johnson confirms pubs and restaurants will not open before 4 July, but you can get your restaurant ready for business by calling our covid19 cleaning team for help and advice today on 0800 0234 058.


Boris Johnson told MPs on Wednesday that the government would follow its original plan to open the hospitality sector next month, despite speculation to the contrary.


There have been calls from hospitality lobby groups to cut the distance between people to one metre to make it easier for venues to operate.


UK Hospitality chief Kate Nicholls said many businesses would not be viable if the two-metre rule was kept in place. Boris Johnson said the rule was under review, while also hinting he may be in favour of a change.


Pubs, restaurants and hotels are all in the next stage of reopenings, which is due to begin next month.


UK Hospitality releases guidelines to help pubs and restaurants reopen safely.


UKHospitality has set out draft recommendations for how hospitality businesses should operate post-lockdown.


For example, sauces should be removed from eateries and replaced with individually wrapped condiments.


Meanwhile, in pubs, people will be discouraged from standing at the bar.


Hotel buffets will also be off the table, at least in the short term, according to a 75-page document from the industry body.


UKHospitality stresses that you must do a thorough risk assessment before reopening to show that you are taking adequate steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19.


Specific guidelines for hotels, pubs/bars and restaurants are set out below.


Restaurants and casual dining

  • Individually wrapped condiments and sauces should be offered on request and put with the plated food, not left on tables

  • Cutlery to be brought to the customer with the food and condiments rather than customers helping themselves or left on the table

  • Develop your table plan and arrangement based on the physical distancing guidelines operational at the time.

  • Customer contact with commodities (e.g. menus, trays, napkins) should be limited to what is necessary or designed in such a way that cleaning/replacement is carried out after each use. Menus left on tables/table talkers discouraged in favour of other forms of display to the customer. Consider the use of single-use/laminated menus brought to the table

  • Use disinfectants and sanitisers that are effective against bacteria as well as cold and flu viruses, as recommended by the current government advice which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings/covid-19-decontamination-in-non-healthcare-settings

  • Cleaning regimes for kitchens should reflect the need to reduce risk from coronavirus as well as maintaining all normal expectations relevant to a food business regarding hygiene

  • Control movements of staff to maintain mandated social distancing measures where possible i.e. include one person at a time allowed in the chilled stores or dry stores or the changing rooms and toilet.

  • Hand washing of glassware, plates and cutlery should be avoided where possible with glassware washed separately from plates and cutlery.




Pubs and bars

  • Assess the flow of staff and customers in the pub as part of the risk assessment. For bar orders, inform customers to keep the minimum safe distance from bar staff as well as from other customers waiting in a queue to be served e.g. directed by tape marks on the floor, signage

  • Measures to consider include managing the bar to create directional movement of customers ordering drinks at a till point, then moving to a second point to collect their drinks

  • Consider restrictions on customers remaining at the bar after ordering and getting their drink

  • Advise that empty glasses are collected from tables by staff, and customers discouraged from returning empty glasses to the bar

  • Beer gardens/outside areas: although easier to manage if a large outdoor area, there is a danger of groups forming. Consider as part of your risk assessment. Regular patrol of outside areas, smoking/vaping areas, restrictions that may be required for children’s play areas

  • Toilets: as part of your risk assessment, have a plan specifically for customer toilets to ensure compliance with physical distancing rules and ensure all staff are aware.
