Covid-19
We're back!
Step 3 – Step 3 – 17 May 2021.
Keeping you Covid-19 safe at The Old Vicarage.
We are all very excited at The Old Vicarage to be re-opening our Restaurant for dining after all this time and the Hotel for non-essential travellers. Our aim as ever is to give our customers and guests a comfortable, relaxed, memorable, and professional experience.
Over the past weeks, we have been diligent with our working practices ensuring everybody’s safety, and adherence to the Government’s Guidelines. We will continue this now we are finally able to open our indoor dining and accommodation.
We are publishing our updated COVID-19 Risk Assessment on the website, but key points will include use of professional grade disinfecting misting machine, one-way systems within the property, the wearing of face coverings and multiple hand sanitising points.
We have already started bookings for both the patio and now also for the restaurant.
We will be open Wednesday through to Saturday Evenings, Thursday through Sunday Lunches but will be closed Monday, Tuesday to non-residents.
Dining numbers may still be limited due to continued social distancing and we will be asking customers to be prompt with their arrival times – bookings taken at 10-minute intervals.
These are still challenging times for all of us, so please be patient as we re-find our feet. As always, constructive feedback is very welcome.
See you soon
