In these uncertain times, we appreciate that everyone is a little apprehensive and anxious. We wanted to communicate to you everything we are doing at The Swan to ensure that our customers and staff are kept safe. We are aiming to create an environment that is safe, but also comfortable and friendly.
For FAQs please scroll down.
Social Distancing
We are adhering to the 1m+ rule. Our tables and furniture have been spaced to allow for this. Please respect this rule and help us to keep you safe.
Table Size
We will not accept table booking for more than 6 unless you all live together
One-way System
We are operating a clearly marked one-way system, with a separate entrance and exit to avoid any bottle necks. Please do follow this.
Facemasks
You must wear a facemask when you are not seated.
Menus
All menus are “single-use” and are thrown away into our recycling bin after every guest to guarantee 100% safety
Table Service
Please do not order at the bar. A member of the team will be over to take your order.
Opening Times
As you know we have to be closed by 10pm with all customers having to have left by this time. Please do help by settling your bill promptly. Last table bookings are 8.30pm.
Sanitising
We ask every single person who enters the pub to sanitise their hands each time they enter. We sanitise tables, chairs & credit card machines after every group departs. In addition, all surfaces that are regularly touched by guests are cleaned continually.
Contact Tracing
Every guest must supply contact details. Either via the NHS track and trace QR code positioned in the bar (you have to have the NHS app to use this) or our own QR code.
Payments
We will not accept cash. Please use cards or contactless payments.
Enhanced cleaning throughout
As well as our normal fastidious standards we are disinfecting all touch surfaces and you will notice our staff busying away with this throughout the day.
Staff Safety
All our staff will maintain even higher than normal hygiene standards, in particular, constant hand washing and sanitising.
