We want you and your family to feel as safe as possible when we are back open. That's why we have invested significantly in new and extensive protective measures to comply with all guidelines set by the government in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These include:

Innovative dry mist ‘fogging’ sanitisation provided by Protect Pro Solutions, based in Dewsbury. This will be deployed throughout the pub and all rooms prior to reopening for airborne and surface contamination control which meets NHS standards
An infrared thermometer to allow temperature checks for team members ahead of every shift
New safety signage to reassure and inform customers about new guidelines as well as directions for safe entrance and exit to the building
Outdoor seating separated in line with government guidelines and physical screens introduced between indoor seating
New hand sanitiser dispense stations situated throughout the pub

Customers will also be asked to make some small changes to help the pub stay safe and stay open:

Pre-book a table
Check menus online in advance
Wear a mask at all times unless you are sat at your table
Pay by card
Use the sanitisation points regularly to minimise the chances of infection

In addition to this, for a temporary period the Woolly Sheep will offer a more focused menu to achieve their usual high service standards with a reduced kitchen staff due to social distancing guidelines. The menu will include pub classics as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes and is available to view through the below link.

PRE-BOOK A TABLE

Timothy Taylor’s Estate Operations Director, Paul Turner, stated: “We have taken a lot of time and effort to ensure the safety of our staff and customers and look forward to seeing you all for a pint of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord.”

Timothy Taylor’s and the Woolly Sheep both recognise that many customers will feel apprehensive about returning to the pub, while others will feel more comfortable. We try and accommodate all attitudes and would ask for patience during this time.
