WE'RE BACK ON MONDAY! We are incredibly happy to

WE'RE BACK ON MONDAY!
We are incredibly happy to let you know that all is well at The Rusty Bull, and we are re-opening on Monday 5th October!
Our normal opening hours apply.
After our 2-week lockdown not only are we happy to open again, but excited to be launching our winter day and night menus in a few days. Our Christmas menu is coming soon too. So, watch this space!
CHEERS TO GOOD HEALTH!
We are relieved to let you know that the staff member diagnosed with Covid-19 is fit and well. All other staff have either tested negative or have zero symptoms.
Our whole team send their sincere thanks for the care so many of you have shown in person and via social media. Your support has been profoundly important to us all.
Cheers to good health for us and you!
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT
This experience has clearly demonstrated to us is how much ambiguity and how many grey areas there are from the government on how to handle such a situation.
We ultimately made our decision on a human basis, rather than a business one, as the rules are so misleading. We felt that a week or 2 of closures was better than putting anyone else's health at risk.
Although the closure has left a financial dent in the business, we feel we did the right thing for our staff and customers. Many lessons have been learned, and we have new procedures and protocols in place to help to ensure that we don’t have to close again.
COVID-19 RULES & REGULATIONS
We are all being bombarded with ever-changing rules and regulations from the Government about COVID-19. These are the critical ones over the last week that we feel are essential to update you on.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Customers are to wear facemasks on arrival, leaving and when navigating around the restaurant.
• All staff will now be wearing face masks to increase the protection for customers and fellow staff.
• We will be closing at 10pm on the weekends. Our new last order time is 8.30pm.
• We will be adding screens to our hostess stand and bar.
• A maximum of 6 people from the same household, or support bubble, are allowed per table.
We will be running parallel staff teams (bubbles) to protect the staff and customers even further.

THANK YOU! Thank you all for your support. It's b

THANK YOU!
Thank you all for your support. It's been a very distressing and challenging time for us all at The Rusty Bull. The worry for the team member who was diagnosed with Covid-19, and the anxiety for the other team members been put at risk, is on-going.
The staff member diagnosed handled it perfectly though, removing herself from work and getting tested straight away. With her having spent such a short time at work, the Track and Trace task force advised that the risk to staff and customers is very low.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT
What this experience has clearly demonstrated to us is how much ambiguity and grey area there is from the government in how to handle such a situation.
- We have been told we can stay open, and that we should close at the same time.
- Staff who meet all the safety guidelines to be able to work are also being told they will be fined if they come back to work.
We have had to make our decision on a human basis, rather than a business one, as the rules are so misleading. We felt that a week or 2 of closures was better than putting anyone else's health at risk.
Judging from the incredible support and feedback we have received this was the right move. It has also given us great confidence in our procedures knowing that we have handled everything correctly.
However, the colossal burden this closure puts on the business and its owners cannot be understated. It is immense.
WE NEED YOU!
We are fully dependant on your understanding and support when we reopen. With your help and support, we know all will be well. So, please keep us in your thoughts and we will have our doors open very soon.
Provisionally we are looking at re-opening on October 5th but keep following us on social media for updates.
THE SHOP IS OPEN...
Because Hinchliffe's Farm Shop is run in a separate part of the building, and with a separate team, it has been in a perfectly protected bubble. It is safe for you to continue shopping there. They have some great special offers on at the moment. Check out the shop's Facebook page for more info.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE* A member of The Rusty Bull team

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*
A member of The Rusty Bull team was diagnosed with Covid-19 yesterday (22-09-2020).
Following government guidelines, and with only 1 staff member having been diagnosed, we are not obliged to close the restaurant.
However, the safety of our staff and you, our cherished customers, is far more important to us than the loss of trade for a short period. Therefore, after consultation with Government Track and Trace, we have made the decision to close The Rusty Bull for a few days, or until we feel it’s safe to re-open.
As we have followed the UK government’s Covid-19 guidelines with exceptional attention to detail we have been informed that the risk to customer and staff is very low. Despite this we believe that allowing staff the time to get tested, and be sure they are Covid-19 free, means that we can re-open with the utmost confidence, safety, and peace of mind for our staff and customers.
We understand your concern and want to inform you that the track and trace task force only contact guests if we have had more than one Covid 19 case. As we only have one at present there is no need for guests who dined with us on the weekend to take any action as we have adhered to all the government protocols. Please follow government guidelines and get tested if you show any symptoms.
Hinchliffe’s Farm shop will be open for business as usual (being run in a separate part of the building and with a different team) the Farm shop has not been put at risk.
It’s heart breaking to be closing again. We hope that, during this short closure, we can continue to count on the incredible support you have given us over the last 6 months.
This is just a bump in the road, and we will be back very soon. Better than ever before!
