Last updated Saturday 12th October 2020 and subject to change based on Government guidelines.

The following measures apply throughout Kings Croft Hotel

All team members will undergo a Health and Safety Covid-19 Secure training program prior to returning to work, to educate them in strict hygiene protocols whilst remaining able to deliver our usual high standards of service.

1m+ social distancing to be observed wherever possible.

Enhanced cleaning programme throughout all ‘front & back of house’ areas, including all touch points such as door handles and handrails.

Hand sanitising stations will be available for customers and the team.

PPE (face coverings, disposal gloves, aprons, wipes) available for all staff and customers.  Face coverings must be worn at all times by everyone in the building, unless exempt or sat at table eating drinking.

Daily temperature checks on arrival. Any member of the team with a temperature of 37.8C or greater will be asked to wait in their car or a private room for 30 minutes before having a second temperature check. If their temperature is still 37.8C they will be sent home and need to call the NHS 111 Coronavirus for advice.

Teams will have staggered arrival and departure times and wherever possible, members of the team will be able to work from home

We will encourage increasing the frequency of hand washing or hand sanitising and surface cleaning (including disinfection of high footfall areas or common touchpoints and toilet/restrooms).

The time of any activity where social distancing cannot be maintained will be kept as short as possible.

Back-to-back or side-to-side working will be introduced (rather than face-to-face) and the use of barriers to separate people from each other whenever possible.

Staff Canteen will be adapted to minimise groups of people and allocated times will be set

Internal meetings to be carried out remotely where possible, and social distancing observed if meetings take place in person and training will be carried out remotely where possible.

A one-way system will be implemented back of house to prevent staff crossing, where possible.

A Covid-19 Champion has been appointed to ensure all procedures are being observed i.e. line manager on duty

All bathroom toiletries are for individual use and will be changed and disinfected between stays.

Servicing of the rooms will only be available for guests staying two or more nights and is on a request basis only.  If Housekeeping do need to enter the room, they will wear a face covering and disposable gloves.

All printed material, pens, menus, cushions and bed throws will be removed to reduce touch points.

Room service will be available by contacting reception however delays may be unavoidable

Wherever possible dining experiences must be pre-booked. To ensure we can effectively manage social distancing for all our guests, we politely request prompt arrival.

Where possible the same table will be allocated to guests for their entire stay.

Staff will not remove guests’ coats and belongings.

All service will be table service, and guests must not approach the bar.

The number of guests allowed at a table will be based on Government guidelines.

Disposable paper napkins will be used. Straws and stirrers will be removed.

Windows will be opened to increase ventilation in the restaurants.

The person making the reservation will need to keep the contact details of those dining for 21 days after dining unless guests prefer to use the NHS track and trace app & QR Code. Based on Government guidelines, this is mandatory under the test-and-trace system.
