So, here it is then – our comprehensive list of pubs, restaurants and cafes opening from the 4th July onwards. The general gist as you will expect is reduced seating capacity, changes to ordering procedures, and so on. Some are using outdoor space to give more room, and Apps are quite commonly being used for ordering. In many cases, reserving a table is required, or at least a good idea.
Please note that even while compiling this info, we received updates and changes of plans – so bear in mind, changes may still occur! We will publicise any updates as we get them.
Good luck to all the businesses re-opening – its been a tough time for you and your staff, We are sure you will get LOTS of support in the coming days and weeks.
