Reporting of concerns

If you feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened, you can approach a member of bar staff and ‘Ask for Angela’ and we will support and assist you. This could mean finding a safe space for you, seeing you to a taxi, or calling the police.  

We encourage customers to report to site or company management if they feel they are being discriminated against or harassed, or if they witness an incident of either. You can report incidents to a staff member in person, or email site level: jesus@bethnalgreentavern.co.uk or at group level: matt@grace-land.co.uk

Concerns and complaints will be dealt with seriously and investigated thoroughly.

Customers engaging in conversations that involve derogatory comments or words and phrases that we feel are discriminatory, or that make our other clientele or staff uncomfortable, will be warned once, if it continues they will be asked to leave.

Customers who are discriminatory or harassing will be banned from our venue.
