      COVID RESTRICTIONS

       

      We will have measures in place to protect both the public and ourselves. Initially we will be using a full perspex screen through which we can take orders and payments, with items bagged and placed at a collection point on the front deck for customers to collect. We will monitor the area around the boat for good social distancing and would ask customers not to congregate near the boat but queue 2m apart. We would prefer Card or phone payments but are happy to accept cash.

      Thank you for your co-operation
