The UK’s first purpose-built socially distanced restaurant will open its doors to the public on Saturday.
Up to 96 guests at the St Moritz Hotel & Spa near Rock in Cornwall will be seated in 16 private dining rooms.
Staff wearing face masks serve food through service hatches in each room.
This ensures diners remain in their family “bubble” and are separated from other guests and staff.
“Our self-catering accommodations are full for July and August, which we would expect,” he said.
“People have been waiting and waiting to stay in hotels and now our phones are very busy, our online bookings are very busy.
“We are very lucky here in St Moritz that our architecture means all of our hotel rooms can be occupied in a safe and socially distanced manner.
“That’s why we came up with the idea of socially distanced dining and built this marquee with 16 individual dining rooms.”
Guests can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the private dining rooms – with reservation times staggered so they do not have to walk past others or wait when they arrive.
It will open to guests on Saturday.
