As we announced on Tuesday, our restaurants have now temporarily closed. However, at the request of the Government to ensure availability of freshly prepared food for essential workers, for those who are self-isolating and for the vulnerable in society, we have kept a number of key kitchens open, so we can serve the community via our delivery partners Deliveroo and Uber Eats. 

We are doing this because we believe it is the right thing to do as a responsible member of the community, any profits will be going to our food donation partners.

Our amazing kitchen teams are there by choice, and we have heightened safety and cleaning processes in place to ensure team members and delivery drivers are protected. We are also keeping all of our team members employed and paid during this time with access to the Government Employment Protection scheme.

So, how are we helping the community? Aside from continuing to employ our team members, we are:

Working in partnership with Deliveroo to donate food to frontline NHS workers and vulnerable groups

Continuing our programme of food donation, including to homeless charities and those that are most vulnerable

Providing another way that people can access food without having to leave their homes.

We will keep doing what we can to be of service in our communities and will always adhere to Government instructions. We want to thank all of our dedicated team members.
