The announcement of a curfew starting on Old Year’s Night sent the island’s party and dinner scene into a tailspin but restaurant owners said they were adjusting and support the Government’s health measures.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley made the announcement on Thursday following a COVID-19 alarm due to local spread. The curfew will be in effect from midnight to 5 a.m. through January 14, 2021.
At The Mews, Holetown, St James, managing director Chris Hoad said they completely respected the decision despite the expected losses.
“We had a New Year’s Eve party planned which is now cancelled and we already had people booked for dinner, so we are in the process of calling our clientele to see if they are still interested. We’ve had to move [reservations] forward and a lot of people have cancelled, which we have to refund. We are still operating for dinner, obviously within the protocols, though we have to make a decision in the next couple days as what the plan is going forward.
