Oundle favourite to reopen this weekend after lockdown

Oundle’s popular Talbot Hotel opens its doors again this Saturday (July 4) with a whole raft of measures in place to keep its customers and team members as safe as possible.

And as a special thank you the town’s NHS, care home and blue light workers for all their amazing efforts during lockdown, there will also be a twenty-five per cent discount off all meals during July.

General Manager Greg Dover said it would be a momentous moment and that customers arriving at The Talbot would find an information notice setting out the nine-point safety procedure now in operation.

These included social distancing measures, screens where necessary, single-use menus, a brand- new order and paying App, cashless payments and hand sanitising stations throughout the premises.

While all staff would have their temperatures taken before starting work, The Talbot would also have a ‘Covid Safe Champion’ who would spend the entire day on sanitizing and cleaning duties, regularly patrolling all public areas.

The hotel had also introduced a separate set of safety measures for guests staying overnight including a 10 high touch point cleaning protocol, online check in and pre-payment.

And should guests staying at The Talbot or any other hotel around the group happen to be NHS, care or blue light workers, then they would be entitled to a half price room only discount until the end of the month.
