We have been preparing since the day we shut down so we could open right away and have put in place measures to ensure the safety of everyone.

We have completed a full Covid-19 Risk Assessment and updated our working procedures. Everyone has received training in Covid-19 hygiene and are fully certified.

We have a private garden and an under-cover socially distanced seating area to replace the old waiting area.
