With customers providing contact details it will be easier for the Police to arrest the few lunatics that are bound to get wasted and cause crap for everyone else. Maybe this will put some of those people off.

---------------------

Indoor and outdoor spaces can be used.

Customers should provide contact details to the business and they should be seated at tables when indoors.

People can go to these venues indoors as a household/bubble or with another household/bubble.

Outdoors, people can meet in groups of up to 6 from as many household.

Customers can use toilets but they must be cleaned regularly with hand-washing facilities provided and social distancing adhered to.

-------------------------

Also talking to a few venues and friends - they say their local isn't opening for the whole weekend because they just don't want the bother - so they are leaving opening till the following week.

I think it's sensible of pubs to delay opening at least until Monday. Some of the media are referring to Saturday as 'Super Saturday' not great.

I messaged my localish pub regarding numbers in groups and was told up to 6 max but only from 2 households. So is it up to the pub to decide on that?

This is the rule for inside. Outside you can have six people from six different households.

So true the 'Super Saturday' moniker is just so irresponsible - and at the same time they will be reporting those being irresponsible.

Very low background music, no live entertainment, quizzes and sport on TV.

The joy of going for a pint has been stripped away. I would rather sit in my own garden and have a drink

Keeping the venues quieter should help to minimise people raising their voices and possibly aerosol emissions. Unless I've gone out for music or a band, being able to talj is important for me. Perhaps it's an excuse for people to engage with their phones instead

I was just thinking this, the venues aren't going to be checking your contact details to buy a pint are they? Understandably the restaurants will be taking a deposit over the phone to book a table, but pubs..I don't think so.

Mind you, I had to give my contact details to visit an old church at the weekend!

As a manager at a venue I am literally dreading it, we've actually decided not to open this Saturday because we don't want the aggravation. You say the ones that are likely to cause trouble won't give their real names or number!! One thing with this and that cash is banned your drinks have to be paid for by an app, the app has to be registered to you and your phone and your bank details, my security team have been given like all places who have security a very clear stance any trouble they will be allowed to use whatever force they need to use without repercussions from authorities. I'm sure there will have few hurt egos and bodies after Saturday.

We're going to be running a promotion

of course but if people are going out celebrating football, gathering to scream black lives matter ,rioting and sitting shoulder to shoulder catching the sun on beach whats the point in keeping pubs shut and destroying businesses in the process ? To me i dont think it will make one bit of difference with the way people are behaving anyway . Government should have been stricter with lockdown from day one , to late now people have been laughing at any laws put in place so you think they will change cus the pubs are open? . Doubt it .

Just remember, the Licensee has the final say on everything.

If they don't want to serve you, for whatever reason, then you have to leave and thats the end of it.

And barstaff certainly don't need any aggravation directed towards them.

Unbelievable really

It really is quite shocking how people think they can return to some kind of normality. Think of the virus like a lion!!!

The lion at the bottom of the tree is just dozing a bit, Boris decides you can come down that tree.....the lion hasn't gone away he's just waiting patiently for you to come close enough.

Also another way to see it is the virus hasn't gone away they've just got enough beds for you know. So what's the answer?"

There's no specific answer as such I think most people would agree that stuff needs to open but I think personally it should be done in a more measured way eg..small restaurant first maybe cafe then individual pubs in villages and then roll it out to keep an eye on it all...this open everything in one go especially on a Saturday definitely isn't the answer

Weatherspoons have given a description of how they will open and they certainly are taking cash. Also coming from two girls who work at the local one. They have been sharing pictures of the screens and one way systems. You can't go and join friend on a table though. Once inside that's the table or you are out.

From what I've seen of public behaviour over the last few weeks leads me to the somewhat inevitable conclusion that this is going to be total carnage.

A large number of people read rules and interpret them to suit their self centred behaviour.

All these people will see is 'the pubs are open' and all hell is going to break loose when they are refused entry or service.

Mass unemployment is inevitable, already seen thousands of job cuts in the uk.

A second lockdown would finish off a lot of the hospitality trade.

"You think the people who are likely to cause the trouble are going to give their real names and addresses?

looking around different venue websites they are saying No ID no entry or service.

You can also find this on some Local Authority Websites.

What is classed as ID ? Does it have to be photo ID, if so I’m fucked.

The ones I saw said bills etc would do."

so you are early twenties live at home with mum and dad or in a uni halls so no bills in your name/ address... no pub for you?

or even just one half of a married couple and all the bills in one persons name ... again no pub?

if online bank statements are accepted (cause lets face it nobody gets them posted now) i can just ask my mates sister to send me a copy of hers so all of a sudden me and my mate look like one household to allow more of us to get together

this kind of ID check just doesn’t work and they are going to find it very hard to enforce it long term once they clock on to all the loopholes. .. the only way to enforce this kind of thing would be if people had to have id cards just as general part of society which for the time being we dont

Do you not think we will anyway ? And if we are they can hardly blame pubs re opening can they ?

It will all help the virus spread will it not of course but if people are going out celebrating football, gathering to scream black lives matter ,rioting and sitting shoulder to shoulder catching the sun on beach whats the point in keeping pubs shut and destroying businesses in the process ? To me i dont think it will make one bit of difference with the way people are behaving anyway .

i still don't get why you are responsible for track and trace yourself in terms of just remember who you sat beside on a picnic bench for the afternoon but it becomes the pubs responsibility if that picnic bench is moved into a beer garden (to the point you need paperwork to prove it)

the governement either think you can manage it yourself or they need to put something in place for you to be properly tracked and if so that should be everywhere not just the pub (ie this terrible phone solution they cant seem to get right)

piling on monitoring in some areas is useless if we having nothing at all for others

you give all your details in that pub, then you walk out after your pint and visit the post office and supermarket and get a bus then the local corner shop on the way home ... how many untracked interactions do you have there

No It's nothing to do with National ID cards.

But any Authorised Officer can ask for ID on Demand anyway or Arrest you to the Police station if you refuse.

You use ID in Banks when you use your card to pay at a supermarket/shop. You use ID to purchase online. To pay your bills. To obtain a phone contract. Your car is clocked by ANPR about 50 times a week. Your TV License. Your Netflix account. Your Passport for Holidays/Travel. Facial Recognition in this country is poorly regulated. List is endless really.

i could easily be sat on the bus as long as it would take to drink a few drinks (most places only allowing 90 min booking sessions as far as i am aware)

im not saying i wouldn't want to know ... its just the haphazard way of tracking it (both through reliability if the ID expected to provide and the fact its only certain locations required to do it) that i disagree with ... we had months to come up with a proper plan for reopening and they haven't thought it through and stuck the burden on hospitality to deal with instead

Again as a manager of an establishment the GDPR compliance training takes 30 mins and 90% of it doesn't comply with what is actually needed. The GDPR or data protection act is there to protect personal details that could lead to fraud, a name, telephone number and an email which isn't necessary in this case is not likely to cause a fraud issue. (No bank details or addresses)

Nothing needs to be finalised as there is nothing to finalise as long as training as been given to one individual that's all that is required

I'd like to think if that person has covid they'd not be out in the first place, don't forget the non symptomatic people who will spread it.

Thanks you hope it all goes well for you on Saturday ??????"

We've taken the decision not to open Saturday as there isn't enough help from police etc, we have had guidance from them in case of any trouble and our security have been told by the authorities that any actionable force taken will be seen as reasonable action to protect staff and others, police will be called and details of all will be given.

Just hope people realise this you can not just turn up to any pub, restaurant etc and be expected to be served you have to pre book so if you turn up get refused don't be a dick because you've not listened to the rules, go home and wait your turn. Ta

Thank you, you have just made my point, the only thing you can legally ask for is a name and phone or email. Which is NOT the same as throwing around

incendiary statements such as "NO ID NO DRINK. Which will only lead to conflict situations, especially as the evening goes on

The conflict will only come from dicks being dicks simple as that, you have to pre book your slot in the establishment, you are not allowed to just walk into any pub without prior permission. Not sure if you've read any previous message but the security at these places (obviously if they have it) have been given a green light to use force so if the covid doesn't get then in the pub then rest assured the bouncers will and then they will happily pack any morons of to catch covid at their nearest hospital.

Also if it's pissing down and your slot at the pub etc is outside remember you ain't allowed inside... Basically tough shit.

As I've previously said I'm going to run a promotion when I open.

Buy one drink get one virus free and another lucky winner gets the free use of a ventilator at a hospital of your choice.

terms and conditions apply, you must be over 18, telephone number and ID must be valid. All winnners will be selected within 5-14 days time. Good luck

---------------------

Indoor and outdoor spaces can be used.

Customers should provide contact details to the business and they should be seated at tables when indoors.

People can go to these venues indoors as a household/bubble or with another household/bubble.

Outdoors, people can meet in groups of up to 6 from as many household.

Customers can use toilets but they must be cleaned regularly with hand-washing facilities provided and social distancing adhered to.

-------------------------

Also talking to a few venues and friends - they say their local isn't opening for the whole weekend because they just don't want the bother - so they are leaving opening till the following week.

I said prior permission, when you get there you will be greeted and if the numbers are too high you will be turned away, so if you're one of them who are going out on Saturday and definitely want to be in a enclosed environment with other pissheads coughing covid juice near you my suggestion would be ring and ask to be put on a list especially if you know the landlord or landlady

Also for everyone going out and drinking or eating please note that a dishwasher has to be working efficiently and have a recorded temperature check taken daily and recorded in their daily due diligence, the reasoning behind this is that the dishwasher has effectively washed the items at a certain temperature (75c or above)for a certain time for it to effectively kill bacteria and potential viruses that maybe on it.

Anyone want to guess what item brakes the most in pubs, restaurants and cafes ???

I’m wondering why you are bothering to open, given how much you seem to loathe your potential clientele. You have openly stated on a number of occasions that your bouncers would put people in hospital or bruise people. You talk about people spraying their “corona juice“ everywhere and then warn that your glasses and cutlery might not be clean. Just stay closed if it’s that much of an issue. I’m sure people can take their business elsewhere - somewhere they are actually welcome, for example.

You really must read all the comments on the forum to make such a bold statement, my comments on security, bouncers at all establishments in England not just mine are facts they have all been given guidance an how to treat the guest and any trouble they can use the same force as the police do, if a small amount of people decide to get VIOLENT they will met with more than restraint like in normal times (police authority given) I did not say my bouncers would put people in hospital I was being sarcastic if the virus doesn't get you then bouncers will because of a small amount of people being dicks.

Every person is a risk to you and your family FACT!!! So the idea of spraying covid juice is very real and in an enclosed environment with no face coverings is the same as being on public transport where it's law to wear such item. I also never said my glasses or cutlery might not be clean I was simply saying that dishwashers have to be working in good condition to be effective in all settings, I have worked for many places small and big and on many occasions I and my team have been ordered to hand wash items so the business doesn't have to close so if companies don't want to close even for one day in normal times what makes you think that a company would want to close and loose even more money after being shut for so long !? my guess would be they wouldn't, I however would close that's a guarantee for your safety.

To keep my customers safe and my staff I have decided not open tomorrow and I will be having a staged opening, booking only, card payment only, I have even moved my WORKING dishwasher to a complete separate area with a brand new extraction system in place to keep my staff as safe as possible.

Anyway if you go out stay safe !!

Hi and thank you for your reply. I must admit, I didnt pick up on you saying you were already staying closed... I was on Fabs as I couldnt sleep. Probably better to not enter into a debate with someone until brain is fully engaged!

That said - I quote you:

"my security team have been given like all places who have security a very clear stance any trouble they will be allowed to use whatever force they need to use without repercussions from authorities. I'm sure there will have few hurt egos and bodies after Saturday."

and

"Not sure if you've read any previous message but the security at these places (obviously if they have it) have been given a green light to use force so if the covid doesn't get then in the pub then rest assured the bouncers will and then they will happily pack any morons of to catch covid at their nearest hospital."

While you did also make the joke about people ending up in hospital with Covid, you also quite clearly say "morons" will have their bodies hurt and that the bouncers will pack them off to hospital. Please dont try and tell me you werent implying it would be because of the use of force without repercussion. Because Im not buying it.

Also, I realise how Covid is spread. However, last time I checked (which was last week, admittedly), Reading (where I live) only had one confirmed case and there was 0 patients on the Covid Ward at the RBH. So for me, personally, with a population of 230000, and only one confirmed case last week.... I really dont feel like every single person is a risk to me. You stating FACT in capital letters doesnt make it an actual FACT.

Thank you for your well wishes - Im waiting to see how my favourite pubs are handling things before I go to them though.

Dx"

You know what this has to be the best conversation I've probably had on these forums, so I thank you and I agree I wish I worked in your area as I would be opening tomorrow. Regards bouncers etc I've worked with some dodgy people and because they've been given authority I feel they will abuse it, I hope not but you know there's bound to be some who will push it and there's bound to be some guests who will push the envelope too again I hope not.

Think because I've seen it first hand and had a relative pass because of it it's hitting me hard and I guess I kinda don't want anyone else to go through the pain etc that's why I'm being so fervent on it.

Sorry if I've pissed you off not my intentions just a concerned citizen. However as I said stay safe and I hope we can all get through this together and someday see all each on the other side

It's fine that you're concerned, what isn't fine is the quite nasty comments you're making, you're assuming that no pub that's opening could possibly be as clean as yours and that everyone going out is going to have covid and take no measures to protect themselves and others.

As someone who is going out, confident in my ability to act like a responsible person, the rude and disrespectful comments from people on these forums about the fact that I, and others, are choosing to try to get back to some semblance of normality are unnecessary.

"I think it's sensible of pubs to delay opening at least until Monday. Some of the media are referring to Saturday as 'Super Saturday' not great.

I messaged my localish pub regarding numbers in groups and was told up to 6 max but only from 2 households. So is it up to the pub to decide on that?

You have to book a table for a couple hours to just sit and chat, no moving form pub to pub. No one I know are going to bother, but because pubs can open the government grants stop. So pubs will go bust and millions on the dole, another fuck up.

Thank you....

I'm so sorry that my opinions are not the same as yours however please don't say I've been nasty not once have I said anything nasty, I may have used words like morons or dicks and if you're offended by that then so be it. I also haven't once said mine is better or cleaner than others I have simply said the highest failure rate in hospitality is the dishwasher and I was wondering how many would close or decide to hand wash which would not be effective. Again I'm not saying everyone has covid but you know what how do you know they haven't ? You don't.

I also haven't said that people are irresponsible or won't take measures to protect themselves, but disrespectful comments .....gonna have to give you a no on that. I do agree that a sense of normality does need to return what I won't agree on is that some people on here disagree with others comments and accuse them of being rude,nasty or disrespectful.

Every person's opinions are to be listened too, my opinion isn't right or wrong and neither is yours or anyone else's.

What I will say is as I can see you're going to go out and I hope you have a great time and that you are safe in your experience. Cheers

Many will go under and it's such a shame, hospitality is very much a week by week business and with the severity of the restrictions in place a lot are going to go under, opening tomorrow or for example leaving it until October isn't go to save them particular ones because the margins are so small. I hope they don't. Some pubs and cold many many people and the max allowed is 30 how much booze etc will have to be spent to keep these places afloat. Beggars belief!!

I saw some shocking behaviour from bouncers in my club going youth... extreme violence towards skinny kids by groups of hired thugs... things have really been cleaned up since then- I just find the thought of bouncers being given the green light to behave as they see fit again quite scary. Particularly if they have been specifically told there will be no repercussions.

Thank you for your considerate response to my initial message- I feel I may have overreacted in my OP to the messages you were posting on the forum. I think it was the inflammatory language you were using, but understanding where that comes from certainly puts things into perspective. I am sorry for the loss of your relative, and I too apologise for any offence caused.
