THOUGH the basic advice against the spread of Coronavirus in businesses and food places is mandatory, some companies just do it better than others.

From using far more than the minimum protection to delaying re-openings in order to make sure staff are prepared, many businesses across Reading, Bracknell and towns in-between have done their best to go above and beyond to protect their customers.

Therefore, we are asking you to support these businesses, and hopefully encourage more businesses to work just as hard to keep Covid-safe.

What is your response?Hope and Bear, Cemetry Junction. Great social distancing, track and trace, eat out to help out menu. Staff friendly but know when to manage peopl that are trying to break distancing rules. Rear garden is hatch service with social distanced queue. Front garden ad inside is table service , well spaced tables inside lots of room outside.

What is your response?Bills restaurant in Bracknell town is great when it comes to making you feel safe, As they have a camera before you can be seated to see if you have a temperature if you do you're obviously not able to be seated, and if you don't you feel secure because you're know that you've passed the coronavirus test. I wish all restaurants would do this as it makes you feel more secure so the public and for the waiters and waitresses I think it should be mandatory.
