Club Announcement – Covid 19 Update

Due to recent changes in the law our revised opening hours and food service are detailed below. Please note we must be empty with doors locked by 10pm so time will be called early enough to allow drinking up. We will be serving all of our customers via table service. It is also now a requirement for everyone to wear a face covering when in the building. The covering may only be removed when you are sat with your group.

Please note, that we are no longer able to run the carvery on Sundays we will look at alternatives for the future but for the time being this means no food service on a Sunday.

Regrettably due to these changes we are not in a position to go ahead with the Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday.
