Two new employees will be hired specifically to regularly clean surfaces and touch points throughout the pub including door handles and hand rails, there will be screens at the tills and between tables that cannot be moved to acceptable distances.

Gloves, masks and protective eyewear will also be provided, but employees can choose whether to wear them or not.

Employees will also have to complete and sign a daily health assessment questionnaire and have their temperature taken to confirm they are fit for work.

There will also apparently be at least 10 hand sanitiser dispensers around the pub, including at the entrance for customers and staff to use.

Staff will also be monitoring the pub "at all times" to make sure everyone is adhering to the social distancing rules and a member of staff will be stationed at the door during peak times.

Although the pub will be operating its usual opening hours, the menu will be reduced, sachets of sauces will be offered instead of bottles, customers will be urged to use the Wetherspoon app to order and staff will hand over all drinks holding the base of the glass.

Cash will be accepted, although customers are asked to use contactless where possible.

All staff working at The Falcon are set to be briefed and trained in the new ways of working.

Sean O'Farrell, manager at The Falcon, said: “At present the government have not confirmed any reopening date for pubs.

“However, it is important that we are prepared for any announcement.

“We have spent a number of weeks consulting with staff who work in our pubs, as well as area managers in order to draw up our plans.

“The safety of staff and customers is paramount.”
