Dining at Imperial Hotel

COVID SECURE RULES: WHO CAN YOU SHARE A TABLE WITH?

Government Covid-19 guidelines clearly state who you can share a table with, when eating a meal or when enjoying a drink. As of 4 July 2020, this is as follows: 

Outside (i.e. on The Terrace, with the roof open only)
A maximum of 6 people sharing one table where everyone may be from a different household.  
Sadly, we can't guarantee good weather for the day of your reservation. Sorry, but we cannot accept bookings from more than 2 households. 

Inside (i.e. on The Terrace when the roof is closed, in the Victoria Suite or when having a drink in Bar Fizz)
A maximum of 2 households sharing one table.

We are very fortunate that here at Imperial Hotel, The Terrace, with its wonderful sea views plus the adjoining, extremely spacious Victoria Suite gives us a large amount of space to ensure tables are well spread out. And we've also been able to extend our lounge bar into the Sandown Suite, so there is plenty of room for everyone to relax. 

We are required to double check that you are only booking a table for a maximum of two households when you make your reservation, so please don't be offended when we ask the question over the phone or on arrival.   

For Track and Trace purposes, the lead booker is responsible for contacting the rest of the group should we be made aware of a possible Covid-19 issue. Your name and contact details will be kept for 21 days, which is the incubation period for Covid-19 plus a week just in case, then destroyed in line with our Privacy Policy. 

And as from 8 August 2020, guidelines now require that you wear a mask in public areas of the hotel, for example, on arrival in Reception, in the lounge bar, in hotel corridors when following our one way-system and if you pop to the toilet during your visit. Thank you for helping us follow the guidelines.
