Even before the pandemic it took a certain cussedness and a high level of social responsibility to run a bar or restaurant. Rightly or wrongly the industry is opening up now/soon and, whilst there is an increased responsibility placed on us all now, I believe the
owners and managers that I know in Worcester are more than capable of handling this. I dunno, I’m just getting a little tired of all the naysayers predicting utter chaos I think. There will be problems but I know plenty of bars and restaurants run by smart cookies that will rise
to this challenge, organise themselves effectively and enjoy their relaunches.
I just really hope that the joy of seeing some familiar faces in their joints, the emotion of pulling the first pint after lockdown and the relief of some money coming in will be the overriding
memory of today or the next few days.
Not all of the public are interested in getting shit faced from 6am and having a conga down Friar Street. The more the media predicts a shit storm the more likely it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
I say: trust the venues that have never let you down before because they’re unlikely to let you down this time.
So, bit of a dull post but I’ll end by wishing good luck to everyone cooking or serving tonight and I’ll be seen pottering around the streets tonight in my mask
with hand san taking a socially distanced view of it all for posterity. I hope (and think) I’ll be jealous of the dudes working the bars!
The pic explains that, due to the flood, this is the current state of our kitchen. We are not opening...unsurprisingly
