An update on safety measures at LK

We can’t wait to cook with you all soon…

We hope you are all doing well. As government guidance on COVID-19 continues to change, we wanted to update you on the safety measures in place at Little Kitchen. While the easing of restrictions means that some safety measures will no longer be a legal requirement, we’ve listened to customers and our staff, and we feel it’s important to continue with certain measures to be on the safe side.

To keep staff, customers and visitors safe we will continue to:

keep up our clear perspex screen dividers to allow for 1 metre social distancing with risk mitigation

encourage customers to continue to wear a face covering whilst entering and moving round the premises

work at a reduced capacity for workshops to allow for social distancing

carry out our enhanced cleaning regime

ensure all staff have an up to date Food Safety and Hygiene for Catering (Level 2) qualification or are working towards it.

encourage the use the antibacterial gel on arrival and hand washing opportunities throughout our workshops

ensure staff are wearing visors when social distancing can’t be adhered to

provide anti bacterial hand gel at each workstation

prepare for individuals to work independently when booked to attend on their own

measure some ingredients in advance to prevent shared handling of ingredient containers

provide disposable aprons for customers, rather than using our cotton aprons

encourage the use of card payments

We will no longer:

request that customers log in using the NHS app or take contact details for those who do not have the app, as a condition of entry

continue with our one-way system of movement in the premises

We are Recruiting!

Due to staff leaving for uni this September, we are recruiting some new Kitchen Assistants. So if you or someone you know is looking for some part time work, is reliable and available evenings and weekends, please email [email protected] to request an application form.

Stay well and we looking forward to cooking with you all soon!
