Please be mindful of those working in these conditions, especially hospitality teams, kitchen staff, delivery drivers and outdoor workers. A little patience and kindness goes a long way. 💙

☀️ The UK is set to hit its hottest temperatures of the year today, so wherever you are, please remember to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and look out for each other. 💧

Big respect to hospitality teams, kitchen staff, delivery drivers and everyone working through the heat today — it’s not easy when temperatures climb.

If service is a little slower than usual, a little patience and kindness goes a long way. Stay safe and keep cool everyone 🌡️💙
