STAY SAFE
The safety and well being of our guests and associates are of the utmost importance to The Oyster Smack Inn. Below are the precautionary hygiene measures we are implementing as well as steps we are taking to help prevent the spread of COVID19.
Please note: The safety protocols have been developed in accordance with the norms laid down by the World Health Organization (WHO)
RESTAURANT
Extra wash stations and sanitation points will be set up for staff to clean their hands between handling glass wear and plates.
By spacing out bookings we are doing all we can to avoid any crowding in waiting areas. We will not be accepting any bar service and reserve this area for room check ins only.
Please use the sanitiser gel dispensers located around the premises, especially on entering. Tables are to be booked within the governmental legislation of up to 6 people.
We would ask that once seated, guests do not move around to interact with other tables or move furniture.
All key touch points will be regularly cleaned throughout the day and staff will be trained to uphold personal hygiene, hand-washing, sanitising, and respiratory etiquette.
All glasses, crockery and utensils will be thoroughly washed in industry standard machines which heat to above 70°C. Staff handling these will be thoroughly washing their hands before and after they do so.
