‘Another blow to the British drinker’: Council health and safety inspectors urge pub-goers not to bring their own mugs and use new glasses instead to stop contamination from tap spouts

- Bars urged to use new glasses to avoid contamination from tap nozzles
- The common practice of pubs is falling against their concerns about the coronavirus.
Many beer lovers enjoy drinking from their own glass or mug at the pub.
But the common practice of refilling glasses is falling against Covid concerns.
The council’s health and safety inspectors, who are carrying out checks for the first time since the pandemic began, are urging bars to use new glasses every time to avoid the risk of tap nozzles becoming contaminated.
Pubs are not specifically required by law to do this, but they are required to serve drinks hygienically.
Pubgoer Dean Valler, 44, from Wallingford in Oxfordshire, said: “It’s another blow to the British drinker.”
