  • Queueing – upon entry to the lounge, firstly please use hand sanitizers available on ledge /step down to the lounge. Then, identify a table for you and your playing partners and only 1 person to join the bar queue. If no tables available inside check outside areas (patio and tent) and again one person to join the bar queue and remainder of playing group to sit at the outdoor tables.

• Ordering – wait strictly in queue at 1m + distance markers, moving forward only when your turn to order. Stand 1m back from the bar and when your drinks are ready the bar staff will stand back and you can step forward to collect your tray.
