For a treat I thought I'd have a sandwich and drink out at lunchtime today.

Tea was in a paper cup, toasted sandwich on a paper plate and plastic knife. I hate tea in paper cups , and for me part of eating out is nice cup etc.

I asked why, and the waitress said " its because of covid....."

Why I wonder. I wonder if the green agenda has just gone now?

You just need to wash cups in hot soapy water, as usual.

If you can tell me places that are still serving tea in cups that aren't disposable please let me know.

Thanks

Several months ago one cafe with outside seating (I?ve forgotten) told me there were no pots of tea because of the pandemic, so I didn?t buy. A teabag in a 250ml cup with no chance of a top up of hot water for ?2 didn?t seem appealing. It?s understandable right at the start of all this when people were even putting the mail in the microwave but not now. Takeaway, of course, needs paper cups but again, nobody is forcing anyone to buy.

Not sure they would fill it because in Wetherspoons for example you can have free refills BUT you have to get a fresh cup- the same hygiene rule applied before covid if you wanted a pint in the same glass- pubs wouldn't do it

Since Covid coffee shops are refusing to refill clients own reusable cups.

Agree :)

The fear of Covid-19 contamination were unfounded. 119 experts from 18 countries concluded reusable containers pose no threat to the public during the Covid-10 pandemic: https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/reusable-cups-coffee-safe-use-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-19-uk-452611

Either way, I don't see how having your own cup refilled is going to spread / pick-up Covid. Perhaps the fear is that just the general air you're sat in is carrying Covid, which may settle on your cup ? But if that was the case, Covid can settle on every disposable cup too.

I asked a barperson in Camden months ago when he refused to refill my used glass - he said that germs could transfer from the glass to the tap....and that was before Covid...so no-one will refill especially now- they use clean cups, glasses etc

Bread of Life cafe at Christ Church Barry Road uses china mugs/cups and plates with stainless steel cutlery. If you require sugar or condiments, they will be brought to you by staff. Open Monday to Fridays 10 - 3 pm. Laminated menu, sanitized after every use, as are chairs and tables.


Basic menu but you can check what specials they have each day.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
