Coronavirus Update
19 March 2020
As of today we are asking that all orders are made in advance by phone. Please also ensure you arrive at or after the time we give you on the phone to avoid unnecessary waiting. This is to minimise the amount of time customers spend in the shop and so reduce the amount of contact between customers.
If you consider yourself or a member of your household to be vulnerable (but you are not self-isolating), we can bring your food out to you in your vehicle. If this is the case, please let us know when you order. We are unable to do this for all customers, so please only request this if you genuinely need it.
We have also been taking further steps to ensure that public areas, including the counter and door handles, are disinfected at least hourly during opening hours. We continue to uphold our usual high food hygiene and safety standards.
We will continue to follow all advice from Public Health England, and will keep you updated if anything changes. Until further notice, we will remain open for business as usual.
Please take care of yourselves, and we hope that you and your family stay safe and healthy during this period.
