A FISH and chip restaurant in North Yorkshire reopened  for takeaway at the weekend.

The Catch group, which runs Graveley’s in Harrogate, closed its restaurants when the Coronavirus lockdown was announced in March, but has now reopened for takeaways from 11.30am to 8pm Wednesday through to Saturday.

Sarah Stuttle, Managing Director of Catch said: “We are extremely grateful to our loyal team of dedicated staff who have supported us with the re-opening and enabled us to open safely this weekend.

"Our first weekend of opening under these new circumstances went very well and customer feedback has been superb.”

As a sign of appreciation to all NHS staff who continue to put in long hours under extremely difficult circumstances during the pandemic, they get a 50% discount on production of an NHS badge.

The restaurant says that, in accordance with Government advice, social distancing measures and new procedures have been put in place. Social distancing signage and protective screens have been installed and as well as the traditional takeaway service a click and collect system is being used to manage orders for delivery and collection.
