200 Degrees reopens Nottingham venue

Popular Nottingham indie coffee shop 200 Degrees has reopened its Carrington Street venue for takeaways.

To fall in line with social distancing regulations, a limited number of customers will be allowed into the shop at any one time and floor markings will be in place to help customers move around the shop safely.

In addition, there will only be two members of staff working behind the counters which have new Perspex screens in place and payments will be cashless only, either via card or the digital 200 Degrees app.

Other safety measures will include recording the temperature of the 200 Degrees team members each morning, team hand washing every 20 minutes for 20 seconds, and hand sanitiser supplied for both the team and customers in the shop.

Co-founder of 200 Degrees, Rob Darby, said: “We’d like to thank everyone for their continued support of 200 Degrees during these unprecedented times and we are so pleased to be reopening our popular Carrington Street shop for a takeaway service.

“We are looking forward to welcoming back our loyal customers and seeing new faces who are looking to grab a cup of our well-loved coffee, as well as other hot and cold beverages and cakes to enjoy on the go.

“The decision to reopen the Carrington Street shop was due to the fact that it is so close to our Meadow Lane roast house HQ and has a strong takeaway trade normally. It’s in a good position for people to safely grab a coffee whilst commuting into Nottingham, going via the station or taking their daily stroll, as we are close to the popular walking route along the canal.

“The safety of our customers and team is always our main priority and due to the current situation, we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure government safety guidance is strictly adhered to.

“We see this as a positive first step towards reintroducing our offering to the public, and will be looking at growing our food options and potentially opening further shops for takeaway in due course.”
