Here's how we'll open, say Llangollen businesses and churches





Llangollen businesses emerging from lockdown have been using their Facebook pages to explain how their new arrangements will work.

Fouzi’s Cafe in Castle Street posted: “Come along to the restaurant and we will seat you and take your order.

“Hand sanitizer will be provided before you before you move into the outdoor seating area.

“All seating has been arranged to accommodate social distancing and all staff will be wearing face shields for your and their safety.

“Whilst we are still accepting all forms of payment, we ask that if possible you pay for your meal using contactless payments.

“We hope to see lots of you this weekend!”


* Gales' new outdoor wine bar. 

Giving a preview of the extensive measures it has put in place so that diners can enjoy their meals in the rear parking area, Gales Wine Bar posted a number of pictures and said: “A peek into the new Wine Garden at Gales. Bookings are open at www.gales.wine



The Sun Trevor posted (pictured above) yesterday: GREAT NEWS! We are open TODAY!

“We are serving food outside in our beer garden and extra covered seating areas from 12pm to 8pm every day, tables need to be booked in advance by phone us, or message on here (confirmed with a reply).

“We have spent lockdown upgrading our toilets; redecorating and giving inside a new look, and cannot wait to show you, and hope to open inside in August - following government advice.

“We hope everyone will understand the necessity for safety not only for you but also our staff.

“When you arrive, there are new procedures and guidelines for you to follow.
Please note - Our carpark is for table bookings only.

“All we ask is to please be patient with us and our staff as this system of doing things will be new and strange to us as well, let's hope that these are the first steps back to normal opening, we look forward to seeing you once again.”


* St Collen's Church will be first to open when all necessary safety
arrangements have been made. 
The Llangollen Group of Anglican Churches set out  full explanation on Facebook of its position on opening.

It posted: “Many of you will now be aware that Churches across Wales are preparing to enter into the ‘Amber Phase’: re-opening for communal worship.

“Whilst it is welcome news that churches can soon reopen for public worship, Fr Lee is working hard to ensure we can open St Collen’s effectively and safely within the Government and Church in Wales guidelines.

“Alongside the Risk Assessment process are a number of detailed considerations and the primary concern must be the health and wellbeing of the clergy, congregation, volunteers and visitors.

“Therefore, this is going to take time and is something we simply cannot rush into.
In our group of churches,

“St Collen’s will be the first to open for worship. Fr Lee will publicise the date as soon as we have completed the process.

“Our other three churches will follow the same process, individually, but at a later date and only if it is safe to do so.

“This is going to be a staged process.

“The structure of our worship will also be very different. Again, Fr Lee will advise on this as soon as possible.”
