We have today (9 October) taken the decision to close the SU Bar until further notice.
We are incredibly thankful to the entire Edge Hill community who have visited us and followed our guidelines over the past few weeks. In the SU Bar, we have prided ourselves on providing the best service, experience and hygiene procedures to keep everyone safe at this difficult time.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 Pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone in the hospitality industry. Due to many of our student staff also living on campus, and therefore having to follow self-isolation procedures when requested according to their halls rooms, our reduced staff capacity has led us to the difficult decision of having to close the SU Bar.
We would like to emphasise that this is not an enforced decision, rather this is a decision we are making of our own accord as we believe being able to operate safely is more important than simply being able to operate. We aim to reopen as soon as possible, but in the meantime everyone at Edge Hill should feel safe to enjoy services including Stone Willy’s Kitchen where you can order Click and Collect Pizza, Fries and Chicken, and Subway which has both delivery via Just Eat and Click and Collect options.
Further updates will be posted on our website and social media following changes to our services and/or changes to Government guidelines. Thank you once again for your understanding, and we hope to see you back in the bar very soon.
As of 7 October, all customers will need to check-in before entering the SU Bar using the NHS COVID-19 app. If you do not check-in, you will be refused entry.

You may be aware that Government COVID-19 guidelines for many North West councils have changed (true as of 22nd September 2020). Please see below for information as to how this affects use of the SU Bar.
We also have some small but important requests for our customers which will help us look after everyone in the SU Bar and Venue.
We’re asking you to…
THE SU BAR AND VENUE...WHERE DO WE START?!
The SU bar offers a great choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks including cocktails, draught beers and bottles. It is the perfect place to relax and socialise (at a distance) when you return to campus. If you're up for a memorable time, or just looking for a quiet pint while you watch the match, we should have a night for you!
We've been working hard behind the scenes at the Students’ Union to make sure that when we reopen our SU bar and Venue, we make them as safe as possible, whilst also following the latest Government and Public Health England guideline. We would like to thank you in advance for following any new guidelines within the bar as these are here to make you and everyone else safe.
SU bar and Venue is proud winner of BBN (Best Bar None) Award 2020 with Gold (100%). The BBN award is an industry recognition of responsible management and operation of licensed premises, ongoing improvements, and social responsibility. Best Bar None’s goal is to help provide a safer night out to all.
