We can accommodate you at The Prince Albert pub on Bellenden Road! :) Give us a call on 02077328106 from 12pm onwards or message me on here if you?re interested in hosting the party at our pub.

I work at The Prince Albert on Bellenden Road and we don?t take bookings - walk in?s only! So anyone looking to watch the game should definitely try us. ;) We?re showing it on four screens - two inside and two in the garden.

It said I didn?t have to self isolate, and I can provide a screenshot of the ?alert? I got if anyone else wants to get antsy about that. Not what I was asking at all. In fact, the question in my first sentence is ?How worried should I be?? considering I got the alert but neither my mum or dad did despite them being with me when I visited said venues. I have a test being delivered to me either today or tomorrow so I guess time will tell.

I think the Herne Tavern still has a big play area! I used to love that place as a kid.

How worried should I be? I?ve just had an alert on the track and trace app saying someone at a venue I?ve recently been in has tested positive for Covid and it?s sent me into quite a panic - yay hypochondria?!!! The only places I?ve been recently and checked into on the app are work, a pub and the theatre and at least with the latter two we were well away from other people and wearing a mask and regularly using hand sanitizer. It?s been five days since my birthday and I have no symptoms. Weird thing is my parents have checked into all three locations recently too and never got any notification on the app like I did. Help!!! :(

It?s also been scientifically proven that wearing a mask doesn?t inhibit your oxygen levels whatsoever, so... I call BS on a certain post on this thread. Ahem.

That said... please please PLEASE tip your waiters/bar staff! Most of us are now working in crazy stressful situations on minimum wage. Doesn?t have to be a lot - that ?1 change you have in your pocket all adds up to us. :?)

No excuse in my opinion. I have suffered with various mental health conditions including a panic and anxiety disorder since I was a teenager yet I still wear a mask regardless of how uncomfortable it can be. My opinion is that if you can?t wear a mask or downright refuse to, don?t go to a pub and put my customers, myself and my coworkers at risk.

Your replies have made me gain some faith in humanity. Thank you all. :(

If you?re so ill that you can?t wear a mask for ten seconds while you walk through the pub then you shouldn?t be drinking alcohol which is bad for your health anyway. I understand being exempt in shops and things you HAVE to do to survive but I have plenty of customers who are ill, breathing problems etc who can put a mask on for ten seconds. Also Just because you?re exempt doesn?t mean we should have to jeopardise our own health/having an outbreak in the pub cus you can?t put a mask on for a fraction of a minute. Sorry if that?s harsh but I?m so sick of this sh*t.
