Welcome to the Worthies Sports and Social Club

Great News!... Sunday Evening Bingo will be back soon. Watch this space for more details. We're aiming for the end of August (possibly the last Sunday of the month however this is TBC)

July Update - As you are no doubt aware, the UK Government have relaxed many of the Covid-19 regulation imposed on Pubs and Clubs so we've made a few changes to the way we're doing things in the WSSC... The key changes (effecteve from 19 Jul 21) are:

• Removal of single entry and exit points
• Additional seating added
• Bar restrictions removed and no more table service
• Removal of many of the Covid-19 signs and instructions as well as floor markings and barriers

We have retained a few measures though:

• We have installed a Covid-19 safe service area at the bar for those who would prefer to maintain a social distance while being served (please note that this is not a priority service point)
• We have retained the current furniture layout and much of the 1m+ social distancing
• Hand sanitiser stations remain as do track and trace QR codes which are recommended but not mandatory

​We are recommending that customers order their drinks at the bar and then use one of the many seated area's we have. We're doing this to support social responsibility and maintain a safe and comfortable working environment for our staff.

We appreciate your patience and support.​ 

Please see our new opening times below. They are subject to review depending on progress with the UK Government roadmap. Any changes will be reflected here as soon as they are announced... let's hope we remain on track though.

Opening hours:

Mon      –             6pm to 10 pm

Tue       –             6pm to 10 pm

Wed      –             12 Noon to 11pm

Word of caution! We need to remember things are not set in concrete, if the Government changes its guidance we may be forced to change our plans at short notice.
