Owners of hospitality venues in Jersey have been threatened with bad online reviews by customers unless they agree to break the rules which means diners must stop drinking when their meal is finished.
The blackmail attempts have been reported to the Jersey Hospitality Association over the first weekend that the sector has reopened following the government’s “circuit-breaker” which has been in place since December.
The new rules, designed to prevent an uptick in Covid cases, mean alcohol can only be served with a meal, and when the meal is finished the drinking must also end.
