Restrictions on bars, clubs and all licensed premises
From 6.30pm 20 March 2020
- Nightclubs will have to close
- Bars that do not serve food will have to close, and
- Pubs and restaurants that serve prepared and plated food are also able to serve alcohol to their customers, provided that it is ancillary to the service of food
This is a temporary measure to mitigate against the spread of coronavirus in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Restaurants and pubs which do serve food will need to observe new restrictions, which would mean alcohol can only be served with prepared or plated food to customers sat at tables. These temporary measures will be reviewed in 10 days' time.
