Good experience in York today. We went past a few good options but the first port of call was able to accommodate us.
The place I went to had a system where you had to request the key (which was stored in sanitiser) so that it was one person at a time; that could become an issue at busy times and is probably not sustainable in the longer term, but it was no issue when we visited.
The place was reasonably busy and plenty of people were ordering food, but there was also plenty of space.
Table service was provided and it was all very civilised.
It makes me want to go to the pub more often.
If anyone is thinking of visiting York, now is a good time. There are far fewer tourists than normal but many places are starting to open up.
Disappointing to hear on here of two places that aren't taking customer details....
There was no need at the place I went to; all the tables were well spaced out so there wasn't a need to come into close proximity to anyone. Therefore there was less need to take customer details for this visit than there would be on the tube!
It's not mandatory; clearly it's going to vary depending on the venue, with it being more appropriate if there isn't going to be much social distancing going on.
