Frankie & Benny’s to open a further 15 sites

Frankie and Benny’s has announced the reopening of a further 15 restaurants that have, taking the total number of reopened sites to 35 by the end of the month.

The restaurant chain said it has followed “strict” Government and Public Health England guidelines and has worked “incredibly hard” to put measures in place to ensure guests feel safe.

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 we will be encouraging guests to use contactless order and payment. Guests will be asked to book in advance with contact details collected through its digital platforms.

Frankie and Benny’s also announced it will also be taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme throughout August, offering 50% off food and drinks. Following the government’s VAT cut, there will also be a reduction in prices on the menu.

Mark Chambers, CEO of the Leisure division, said: “We are delighted to be reopening more Frankie and Benny’s restaurants and very much look forward to welcoming back our guests. Our priority will be to ensure the health and safety of our teams and guests whilst providing a first-class experience.

We are very pleased with the feedback we have received from returning guests so far and we will be monitoring feedback very closely to ensure we continue to deliver a great and safe experience. We are also thrilled to participate in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. This is a much-needed boost for our sector, and we thank the Government for their support.”
