BREWPUB Brewhouse & Kitchen in Dorchester is reopening today.

New measures in place will be online ordering, hand sanitising stations, discreet screens and marked areas to maintain social distancing.

Guests will be encouraged to book their visits throughout the week in order to relax demand and avoid risks of over-crowding.

There will also be handsfree and foot-operated door opening for all guest toilets.

For staff, measures include: extensive training to ensure that they are safe while serving, temperature checking- making sure to confirm that they have no symptoms, as well as masks and visors being available.

Kris Gumbrell, CEO of Brewhouse & Kitchen, said: “These months during lockdown have been incredibly difficult for everyone, but in particular for those in the hospitality sector. In order to overcome these difficulties and try to get to a new normal, it is our main priority at Brewhouse & Kitchen to reopen calmly and considerately, making sure that the wellbeing and safety of our staff and customers is the main priority."
