Hello everyone,
We are sending you a short update email, as following our newsletter last week, some more changes have occurred which we thought you would be interested to hear about.
Rather than listing again all the local businesses that are open – we have decided to give you access to a chart that we have prepared, which we are regularly changing as the situation arises. You can view this chart here.
The main changes since last week are as follows:
**********
- We will currently only be open during restricted times for collections of online pre-orders.
- No orders can be taken at the shop or by phone.
- Orders are to be paid for online so as to limit interaction/delays on collection.
- We ask all customers to please arrive promptly at your collection time.
- Please come solo, to our front door to collect your order.
- In the unlikely event that your order is delayed, please ensure you maintain physical distance of not less than 2 metres from other patrons.
- Limited time slots available and on a first come first serve basis.
- And apologies in advance for our limited menu…
