What to expect when visiting

Frankie & Benny's staff have commented that they are currently "following the strict Government and Public Health England guidelines and have worked incredibly hard to put measures in place that guarantee guests feel safe and enjoy great experience."

"Guests will notice a number of measures in place to ensure theirs and our team’s safety. These include clear social distancing guidelines and signage, enhanced cleaning practices, mandatory health screening for team members and increased hand washing. The menus are single use and contactless order and payment will be encouraged as well," they said.

Diners are asked to book in advance and will be encouraged to pay at the table. Guest contact details will be collected through the online bookings or order at table service and stored for 21 days as per the government track and trace programme.

During the first days and weeks of reopening the teams will be asking guests for feedback through surveys, so that the dining experience is improving and evolving.

Last month it was announced that several several Frankie & Benny's outlets were to remain closed permanently after lockdown, as certain sites are deemed "no longer viable to trade” due to the pandemic.
