Screens and a smaller menu will be among the biggest changes at Dunfermline's Wetherspoons. 

The company, which has one pub in Dunfermline, The Guildhall and Linen Exchange in High Street, will open when it has the official go-ahead from the Scottish Government.

Ewan Maddox, manager at The Guildhall and Linen Exchange, said: “At present the government have not confirmed any reopening date for pubs. 

“However, it is important that we are prepared for any announcement. 

“We have spent a number of weeks consulting with staff who work in our pubs, as well as area managers in order to draw up our plans. 

“The safety of staff and customers is paramount.”

Here is what will happen: 

Staff:

All the pubs will have two full-time staff members that will regularly clean surfaces and touchpoints throughout the building. 

Screens will be introduced at the tills between staff and customers as well as creating seating areas where it is not possible to separate tables to the social distancing requirement. 

The company will provide all staff with gloves, masks and protective eyewear but it will be up to employees if they choose to wear them. 

An average of 10 hand sanitiser dispensers will be located at each pub, including at the entrance, for staff and customers to use. 

When it comes to staff roles, all employees will have to complete a health and safety questionnaire to confirm they are fit to work. 

This will include having temperatures taken using a digital thermometer. 

Staff will monitor social distancing standards as well as a member of staff being at the door during peak times. 

All staff will receive a full briefing and training on the new methods.

Customers:

Pubs will also use one door for entry and another for the exit where possible. 

Customers are asked to use the mobile order and pay app where possible or to pay at the bar using a card. But cash will still be accepted.

All drinks will be handed over to customers using the base of the glass and when ordered via the app, drinks will arrive by a tray.

Food will be delivered by a member of floor staff.

The menu will be reduced and condiment sachets will be provided rather than bottles.
