A SubstaniALE Disappointment

Just an update following yesterday’s announcement that West Sussex is in Tier 2 at least until the Government review in 2 weeks time

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone that has supported us throughout the year and particularly over the last 3 weeks of Lockdown 2 which has been a tough time, we will continue to operate our takeout service until the end of the lockdown on December 2nd

Following the Government announcement re. Coronavirus Tiers on 26th November we are unable to open the bar for the consumption of drinks on the premises. We have no facilities to prepare food and any plan to provide a “substantial meal” from a third party is too complex and unlikely to be cost-effective.

As such, from the end of lockdown 2 on the 2nd December until Christmas we have decided to proceed with a combination of takeout and deliveries as follows. We will be opening on Tuesdays and Saturdays and providing a delivery service on Fridays.

Our opening days/hours from today until Christmas , assuming that we remain in Tier 2 for that period, are:

Saturday 28 NovTakeout service 12-2pm
Tuesday 1 DecTakeout Service 4-6pm
Friday 4 DecDelivery service – see here for details
Saturday 5 DecTakeout and Pop-Up Christmas Shop 12-4pm
Tuesday 8 DecTakeout Service 4-6pm
Friday 11 DecDelivery service – see here for details
Saturday 12 DecTakeout and Pop-Up Christmas Shop 12-4pm
Tuesday 15 DecTakeout Service 4-6pm
Friday 18 DecDelivery service – see here for details
Saturday 19 DecTakeout and Pop-Up Christmas Shop 12-4pm
Tuesday 22 DecTakeout Service 4-6pm
Wednesday 23 DecChristmas Delivery – see here for details
Thursday 24 DecTakeout Service 4-6pm

We hope that we will see you all at some point over the coming weeks and we wish you all good health and a Happy Christmas
