Reopening frequently asked questions.
When are you reopening?
The club is reopening Tuesday Afternoon 14th July in Workington, Tuesday Evening in Whitehaven. All afternoon and Evening times remain the same as before.
Can I still buy Bingo Tickets or Bingo Bee’s from the counter?
We ask members that members please make your way straight to your table of choice, sitting down and a member of staff will get you your tickets without any fuss or queuing. Members needing help to self -serve or add credit to an electronic board will also be helped by a member of staff at the pay station.
Can I still visit the bar and buffet, or is it table service too?
Save your legs as we’ll also be serving all your food and drink to your table. Our Menu will be reduced due to social distancing in the kitchen for a short time but staff will have a copy on hand to show you.
We will also be using disposable containers and cutlery for the time being to serve your food whilst implementing high hygiene standards. All sauces and condiments will also be served in individual sachets.
Do I have to reserve a table before visiting?
It is not our intention to require members to book, ahead of visiting.
With capacity restricted due to social distancing however we are offering you the chance to call ahead and book a table/tickets. You may reserve your table by calling the club between 3 pm and 10pm from Monday 13th of July. Please have your membership number, whether you’d like a board or paper and your payment card ready.
