We have spent the last few days absorbing the extensive government guidelines regarding reopening pubs and restaurants. As you can appreciate, Quirky Ales Tap is quite compact. To incorporate all the social distancing rules it will take some careful planning. We need to get it right. We want people to enjoy themselves. We want to make sure everyone is fully protected & know that everyone feels safe. Therefore, we need a bit more time to work it all out.

We won’t be re-opening this Saturday (4th July) but the takeaway will continue to open as it has been for the foreseeable future.

We are in the process of carrying out risk assessments, looking at capacity, workflow and a variety of other considerations. Please bear with us. If you were to ask us when we are re-opening – the answer right now is: we don’t know.

The takeaway/bottle shop for now is paying the bills so hopefully this will continue, with your support – which has been amazing throughout this & we are truly grateful for all you have done. We feel so lucky to have been able to adapt through it all & to been able to make it work for us all. The takeaway has been our life line. We hope we can work everything out over the next couple of weeks & reopen if possible, in a safe and manageable way offering limited Tap and beer garden table service.

Watch this space. We will announce everything we are going to do here on Facebook. There are many challenges facing us but we are tackling them one by one.

We just wanted to keep you informed. Thank you.
