From the EHU SU Facebook pages:

We have today (9 October) taken the decision to close the SU Bar until further notice.

We are incredibly thankful to the entire Edge Hill community who have visited us and followed our guidelines over the past few weeks. In the SU Bar, we have prided ourselves on providing the best service, experience and hygiene procedures to keep everyone safe at this difficult time.

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 Pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone in the hospitality industry. Due to many of our student staff also living on campus and therefore having to follow self-isolation procedures when requested according to their halls rooms, our reduced staff capacity has led us to the difficult decision of having to close the SU Bar.

We would like to emphasise that this is not an enforced decision, rather this is a decision we are making of our own accord as we believe being able to operate safely is more important than simply being able to operate.

We aim to reopen as soon as possible, but in the meantime everyone at Edge Hill should feel safe to enjoy services including Stone Willy’s Kitchen where you can order Click and Collect Pizza, Fries and Chicken, and Subway which has both delivery via Just Eat and Click and Collect options.

Further updates will be posted on our website and social media following changes to our services and/or changes to Government guidelines. Thank you once again for your understanding, and we hope to see you back in the bar very soon.

Might this be a lifeline for town centre bars and pubs in Ormskirk?
