A TV CHEF who opened up a Lyme Regis restaurant in the midst of the pandemic has spoken of her disappointment in the lack of support she has received from the government - having not been declared eligible for the furlough scheme for two consecutive lockdowns. Robin Wylde opened its doors on October 28, 2020, a week before the second national lockdown was announced. The restaurant was then briefly able to reopen for just under a month, before closing once more when Dorset was put into Tier 3 on New Year s Eve. Owner Harriet Mansell, has written to government officials in the hope her staff can access the Job Retention Scheme. They have not been able to access the scheme during either lockdown, despite employees contracts commencing in September, something Miss Mansell puts down to an accountancy mistake .
