Pecks Restaurant, famous for its ‘dinner at 8’ format changes to ‘dinner at 7’ to adapt to the new Covid Curfew.  Pecks Restaurant has served dinner at 8 since 1984, a highly popular and successful format that has stood the test of time.  The management has been forced to adapt to new government restrictions making this radical change, and breaking the tradition established over 36 years.  

CEO Andrew Pear said “We have made many recent changes to make our restaurant safe, social distancing, hand sanitising, PPE, redoubling our cleaning procedures.  Now we have changed our from ‘Dinner at 8’ to ‘Dinner at 7’, to allow our much valued customers to experience the full Pecks theatre of food.  We are happy to do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe and play our part in fighting this virus.”

OUR KITCHENS

With an Environmental Health Rating of 5/5, our chefs are well trained in cross contamination and exemplary hygiene standards. We are now using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), to ensure we keep our staff and customers safe. We will always use fresh ingredients to produce our dishes, so expect your dining experience to remain unchanged.

OUR PREMISES

In usual circumstances, our team of housekeepers maintain an exceptional level of cleanliness throughout our venue. Additional measures are now taken to ensure regular contact points (such as door handles and light switches) are sanitised often.

To reassure our guests, we have installed screens within our public spaces to aid with social distancing. 

OUR STAFF

Our staff will be wearing masks and gloves until we feel that the risks are diminished.  They are knowledgeable and will guide customers with our social distancing and health and safety measures. All staff will be temperature screened on arrival to work, we will not take risks.

YOUR HELP

We will ask you to use hand sanitiser on entry to our premises, we hope that our guests will understand and cooperate.  Guests may choose to wash their hands in our facilities instead.  We will ask all guests to participate in non-contact temperature screening on arrival to our premises.

We will offer a table service only for all food and drink, our bar is closed to guests until we feel confident that risks are diminished.  This might cause delays at busy times, our staff will be working hard to overcome this, your patience is appreciated.

The Pecks Group response to COVID-19

31st March 2020 - revised 14th May 2020

A message to customers
Thank you for your support in the past, we think of our customers as our friends.  At this testing and worrying time we hope that you all remain healthy and look forward to seeing you again in the near future. 

A message to gift card holders
Please hold onto your gift card, it will become redeemable once we reopen.  We will happily extend the validity of gift cards should this become a problem.   We look forward to welcoming you back once the current emergency has passed.  What better way to celebrate the return to normality than a visit to Pecks. 

A message to customers who have paid over deposits
We have a reduced team working remotely to process bookings transfers. These customers may either change the date of their booking, request a gift card to the value of the deposit that can be redeemed at any time once we reopen, or request a refund. Please note that requesting a gift card or refund will take longer to process due to our reduced team. We are contacting customers who have paid deposits for bookings before 30th June directly.

Due to our team’s capacity and the uncertainty of how long government restrictions will last, we are not yet processing bookings changes for dates on or after 30th June 2020, but we will do so as soon as government advice changes.

A message to suppliers
Our supplier relationships are extremely important to us; we know that suppliers are suffering, just as we are. Both Pecks Restaurant and The Wheatsheaf Hotel are very well financed, and The Pear family will provide whatever financial resources are required to ensure that the businesses meet all of their obligations.  Suppliers will be paid on time, when payments become due.  We look forward to working with you all when the current situation resolves. 

A message to our staff
Please remain at home and stay safe.  You are our greatest assets, your health and wellbeing is of paramount importance to us.  Take care.  See you soon!
