Pub Closure and potential Takeaway & Food Parcel Service
Considering Friday’s Government’s announcement, the Blue Bell is now closed with immediate effect.
We have been planning to offer a takeaway food, drink and a restricted grocery ordering service for the village. The viability of this is now totally dependent on clarification of the terms related to financial support we could get from Government regarding wages and the business support grant announced.
Considering the financial burden we would be exposed to we feel it prudent to stay closed until we have further news/clarification on the above but are working hard to make this work for the benefit of the community.
We will continue to evaluate the situation regarding the ability for us to offer a takeaway and food package service and will post updates via posters and on websites.
In the meantime, please take care in these difficult times.
The Blue Bell Community Hub Team.
