Recently, the COVID-19 guidelines for Northern Ireland have been updated. As a result, there are fewer restrictions when it comes to socialising and meeting with others, especially when outdoors. If you are looking to host an event in Northern Ireland, here is what Hog Roast Eskra can do to comply with the current government guidelines…
Indoor Events
For indoor events (excluding those hosted in a domestic setting), the rules are easing considerably. Any event with under 15 guests can go ahead as normal, without needing a risk assessment. As a result, Hog Roast Eskra can provide our usual event catering for these events, with your choice of meal delivery, buffet, or sit-down meal.
For events with over 15 guests, the organiser needs to submit a risk assessment and take all reasonable measures to reduce the risk of virus transmission. Reasonable measures include good hand hygiene, social distancing, and correct ventilation. If the risk assessment is accepted, our team can provide any style of Hog Roast Eskra catering.
Outdoor Events
Any outdoor event with under 30 guests can resume. Again, Hog Roast Eskra can provide our usual catering for these events. Large events with up to 500 guests can take place, although the organiser will require an accepted risk assessment for this to take place. As with indoor events, there needs to be evidence of measures taken to reduce transmissions, such as handwashing stations and social distancing.
General Guidelines
For general guidelines, all hospitality in Northern Ireland can open, as can entertainment facilities. Travel is permitted where necessary, although should be avoided if possible.
The main advice given for Northern Ireland is to ‘make safer choices’ by getting regular tests, limiting your contact with others, social distancing, wearing a facemask and isolating if necessary.
As we begin to return to normality, Hog Roast Eskra are eager to resume our usual catering services. If you are planning an event for the future, why not get in touch today to book your caterer? Simply let us know your party size, date, and location and we can begin to plan your perfect menu.
