Covid-19 Policy

SEPTEMBER 2020, AMENDED TO COMPLY WITH NEW GOVERNMENT UPDATES

At Bacaro we are adhering to the standard government guidelines in our restaurant.  These requirements and precautions are set to make you and our staff as safe as possible whilst still enjoying your experience.

Cleaning Procedure

In addition to our existing (pre-COVID-19) cleaning supplier, Bacaro is now using the latest products in decontamination and sterilisation, killing off 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.

The chemicals that are used are laboratory tested and clinically proven to not be harmful to humans, animals or electrical appliances once on any surface in our restaurants. The company we are using has recently cleaned interiors of NHS ambulances. We are committed to using best practice to look after your health in a clinically proven way.

Bacaro Standards

Your visit to Bacaro:

 Indoor gatherings should only be occurring in groups of up to two households (including support bubbles), while outdoor gatherings should only be occurring in groups of up to two households (or support bubbles), or a group of at most six people from any number of households covered by current government guidelines.

The restaurant will undergo a cleaning process before opening, and once fully opened these processes will be carried out at regular intervals and at turnovers of covers.

Hand sanitisers will be made available upon arrival, on every table and washrooms in the restaurant.

A two metre spacing between tables will be mandatory, ensuring you and your party are two metres away from other diners. Social distancing between guests dining together will be implemented in our venue in line with government guidelines.

We will maintain social distancing 2m, and 1m with risk mitigation where 2m is not viable from customers when taking orders from customers.

We will have no customer self-service of, cutlery and condiments to reduce risk of transmission. For example, providing cutlery and condiments only when food is served and resetting tables.

Minimal contact between front of house workers and guests at points of service where appropriate. For example, using tables between tills to maintain 2m between the team and guests (2m, or 1m with risk mitigation where 2m is not viable).

We will adjust service approaches to minimise staff contact with guests.

Outdoor table service will also be carried out, also in guidance of social distancing between staff and other diners.

We will provide clear guidance of rules and regulations on expected customer behaviours, social distancing and hygiene to people on or before arrival, in online bookings, our website and on-site signage. Our guests must understand that failure to observe safety measures will result in service not being provided and asked to leave the premises.

Police and the local authorities have the powers to enforce requirements in relation to social distancing and may instruct guests to disperse, leave an area, issue a fixed penalty notice or take further enforcement action.

We will be keeping a record of all guests and visitors for 21 days as requested by the government to assist in the track and trace scheme.

All doors will be open where possible to avoid ‘contact’ contamination.
