Hi Diana,

Maximum party of 6 at restaurant tables, no bar service, masks must be worn at all times, until your drinks/food is served.  If you need to leave your table to use the bathroom, you need to put your mask back on.  This applies to terraces, as well as dining inside.

Kind regards, 

Kim

Hi, thank you guys, 

In short,  in my restaurant,  I can only have 50% on my terrace, and 33% inside, did I understand that correctly? What's the rule about ordering food or drink at the bar,  or take away? Is this permitted?

I've lost track of what I can and can't allow. 😣

Hi Diana,

No, you can't allow customers to order at, or eat at the bar, table service only.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kim, thank you,  my husband Graham read somewhere yesterday that you could order take away,  and pay bills at bar,  So this is not the case? He will have to do a little more walking🤗

If someone comes in for take away,  do we tell them to take a seat (on our limited seats anyway🤨) then take order?

Sorry, Diana, I don't know the official line on takeaways, but I think you'd have to make it work within the current rules.  For example, when my husband collects one from our favourite Thai restaurant, he orders it over the phone, but always goes down there straight away and has a beer on the terrace while he's waiting.  That works well at 7pm, but not sure what he'd do if it was later and the restaurant was busy 🤔 The owner brings the takeaway to him on the terrace with the bill.

Kind regards, 

Kim

What Thai restaurant is that? I'm struggling to find a really good one around here

It's in Guardamar del Segura - bit of a drive for you from Villamartin, but the only authentic Thai food we've tasted in Spain and so much better than all the so-called Thai restaurants run by Chinese in the tourist areas:
