Stephen Hutton, managing director of Middletons, said: “Norwich has a thriving restaurant scene and we’re delighted to announce that we will be reopening the restaurant.

“We have a duty of care to all our staff and diners to ensure they have, not only an enjoyable experience at our restaurant, but a safe one too. This is why we have created extra guidelines on top of those created by the government.” Further safety precautions being exercised by the restaurant includes all staff having their temperature checked before each shift, masks and gloves being available to staff, and hand sanitiser stations across the restaurant.
