The 81 Team x
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 (updated 24th September) 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 6 as per the changes in law on the 14th September 2020. 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.
Arrival (inc Test & Trace)
It is now a legal requirement that all our guests where a face covering when entering and when moving around our restaurant. On arrival, a member of our team will greet our guests explaining everything you need to know to have a safe and enjoyable visit with us. We will ask for you to use our hand sanitiser station and guide you to your table. We will also take down your contact details or you can use the Government’s QR code to collect information in the event that ‘Test & Trace’ is needed.
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.
Christmas Day at 81 Beach Street
We are fast approaching November and although we don’t yet know what Christmas will be like this year, we do know that at 81 Beach Street we are planning to open as usual on Christmas Day! Christmas Day is a special day at 81 and we love sharing it with you. There will be a delicious four-course menu, arrival celebratory glass of fizz, teas & coffees and a little present from us!
You can view our menus here – main menu and the vegetarian menu. If you have any dietary requirements please do let us know and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
The only restriction at the moment is that tables can not be larger than 6, following the rule of 6. We are now open for bookings so please do call us on 01304 368136 and we can book you in! We will collect card details to secure your reservation and contact you closer to the time for a deposit.
Here’s hoping we all have a fabulous Christmas and we can look forward to a brighter 2021!
We’re a vibrant restaurant and whether it’s live music or simply a really attractive special offer, there is usually something going on.
