Inspector Chris Valentine said: "As the picture shows there were no obvious breaches outside but a site visit was made to check on compliance.
"It turned out to be a birthday party and I’m pleased to report that all guidelines were being followed.
"Plenty of sanitiser, tables spread out so social distancing could be observed and music played at an appropriate level.
