It comes after the bar was forced to close for last weekend after staff and management were contacted by NHS test and trace.

It has now reopened after a deep clean.

It isn’t the only bar to have faced issues, with nearby Tinker Smiths forced to close just hours before the England vs Denmark game when a number of its staff were asked to isolate, meaning it didn’t have enough workers to open.

There have been reports around the UK of venues struggling to hire staff.

Figures suggest more than one in ten UK hospitality workers left the industry in the last year, with the pandemic and Brexit thought to be behind the shortage.
