Wetherspoons have updated the rules for pub-goers across the country including Thorn's Farm, Yate.

Customers will need to have ordered food by 9pm with last orders at the drinks bar at 9.30pm.

The pub closes at 10pm and all customers must leave by this time

Customers will need to wear a face-covering while moving around the pub, for example visiting the toilet. Customers can remove their face-covering when seated at a table.

Elsewhere, all staff are now required to wear face-coverings. Non-medical face-coverings, protective eyewear and visors are available to staff. Gloves are not compulsory, but are available, on request.

Wetherspoons say PPE will be required for staff working in kitchens or other areas, on occasion, where there might be confined spaces. This will be determined by each pub’s risk assessments.

Staff and customers don't need to wear a face-covering if they have a medical condition exempting them.

Wetherspoons said: "Government guidelines mean that our pubs are now operating table service only.

"Customers should order directly from their table, using the Wetherspoon app. The app can be downloaded in advance of your visit.

"Where unable to order using the app (if a customer has no smart phone), staff will take orders and bring food and drink to the table. Customers cannot order at the bar."

The maximum permitted size of any group around a table is six, whether inside or outside. Through the use of extensive signage, customers will be reminded about social-distancing guidelines.

Customers must remain seated, whether inside or outside. Furniture must not be moved, as it has been positioned for social distancing.

The pub chain added: "To help to meet social-distancing requirements and to avoid large groups, no football or sporting events will be shown on our TVs, until social-distancing requirements are relaxed by the government."
