Tables of 6 can be booked online, but for larger groups (which under current guidelines must be from two households only) please do call or email us and leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

The 81 Team x
The menus at 81 Beach Street reflect the wonderful range, diversity & quality of food served on a daily basis. Put together by one of the most experienced and talented kitchen teams in the area, there is always a great choice of fresh, creative plates; meals that look as good as they taste!
We have been working hard on what will be the ‘new normal’ for the foreseeable future at 81 Beach Street. Please be assured our only goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for our customers and our team, so that everyone can relax and enjoy the hospitality we’re known for. We have given careful consideration to every decision we have made in navigating our way through this new normal. Please bear with us, as things may take longer, we may have to make changes – but this is a new journey for all of us.

Here is a summary of the key differences you may notice when you visit us, if you would like to read our full Company COVID Policy please download it here.
Bookings & Group Sizes
We would advise booking your table in advance – either via our website or over the phone, as we have fewer tables than usual due to social distancing. Our maximum table size is currently 6 or if larger, then you must be from two households only. We have carefully considered the position of all our tables, we politely ask that you do not move them, without speaking to a member of our team first. Thank you.
Test and Trace Requirements
We will be displaying the official NHS QR code poster across the venue. Every guest aged 16 and over has to check in to our venue via scanning the QR code or provide their contact details to us. We will use our booking system to ensure that we can collect information from our guests who do not have a smartphone or do not want to use the NHS COVID-19 app. Unfortunately we will have to refuse entry to those who refuse to check in or provide contact details.
Face Masks/Coverings
Our Front of House Team will be wearing their face coverings at all times. Guests are required to wear them when moving around the venue – however these can be removed once guests are seated.
Bar Area
Please do not approach our bar area to order additional drinks or to make payment, all service will be table service.
Menus
We are now running our usual size menu at 81 Beach Street. The main menu will change with the seasons, with occasional specials. Our set lunch menu changes daily. Our menus will be available as either single use or wipe clean.
How to order & your table
We will be doing our very best to keep a safe distance when taking orders and serving your table.
The tables will look quite bare as they will not be pre-laid. Cutlery, napkins, condiments will be served to you after you have ordered. We will ask if you can, kindly, stack and position your plates at the edge of your table to allow for reduced contact in clearing your tables. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Cashless
To reduce the handling of cash, we are cashless for all food and drinks.
Cleaning
Please be assured there is regular cleaning going on at 81 Beach Street. Our top priority will be all frequent touchpoints and the toilets. Our payment machines will be cleaned after every use. There are several hand sanitiser stations around the restaurant. Tables and chairs will be cleaned after each customer, we have allowed extra time in the turnaround of tables for this. At every point we are following the highest standards of cleaning through-out the restaurant and in the kitchen.
Toilets
Toilets will be regularly cleaned by our team, wearing PPE.
Recycling
There will be a lot more single-use items now at 81 Beach Street, we are very conscious of this and will be ensuring that we will be recycling as efficiently as possible.
Children
Due to the new guidelines we sadly can’t provide colouring pencils for children, so please do feel free to bring your own.
We’re a vibrant restaurant and whether it’s live music or simply a really attractive special offer, there is usually something going on.
Special Occasions & Private Hire
Whatever the occasion, we are here to make it as memorable as possible. For larger parties, why not opt for our private dining room in an intimate sea view setting, which can comfortably accommodate up to 24 guests for a sit down meal. Please call and speak to a member of our team to discuss the options we have available.
For that all important meeting or conference, we offer a range of facilities including wireless broadband Internet connectivity. We are happy to discuss exactly what you require to make your event an unforgettable success.
