Set to re-open its doors on Saturday, 4 July The Ivy Collection is excited to announce it will be re-opening the first of its restaurants within the group, The Ivy Chelsea Garden, on Saturday, 4 July, on the basis that the Government lifts its existing restrictions on its two metre social distancing guidelines.
The much-loved Chelsea stalwart hopes to re-open the doors to its restaurant and newly-refurbished summer garden for guests to enjoy with friends and family, offering a beautiful yet safe destination for all. Guests can look forward to a host of exciting, creative cocktails and delicious dishes, all set against a backdrop of tranquil surroundings, fabrics and greenery for the ultimate dining experience. Whilst service will still remain a priority, the restaurant will be implementing the highest standards of health and safety, ensuring both guests and employees will be dining and working in confidence and in a safe environment.
Measures will include thermal cameras for temperature checks, the use of tracking software for all employees logging daily temperature readings over a seven day rolling period, and professional deep cleaning and disinfecting on a daily basis. Air filtration units have also been fitted (99% effective in killing the MRSA and H1N1 viruses, which are part of the same RNA Coronavirus family) and dedicated members of staff have been appointed to ensure that health and safety is at its highest standard on an on-going basis. These are a few of the measures that have been implemented but more detailed information will be published prior to opening. The restaurant’s concern is not only to give guests and staff the most positive of experiences, but also to ensure that Health and Safety is paramount.
Pedro Carvalho, General Manager of The Ivy Chelsea Garden says: “I myself and all of the staff are extremely excited to be opening once again on Saturday, 4 July. We can’t wait to welcome back our regular guests and members of the community who we have greatly missed over the last few months. The team are also looking forward to being united again on the restaurant floor and in the kitchen, whilst maintaining a safe distance at all times.”
