[originally published 10-3-21]
We’ve had lots of requests for information on pub re-openings in Marlow, based on the anticipated 12th April target date to allow pubs to serve OUTSIDE. So, we have tapped up our contacts to get the low down for you! We will report on restaurants and cafes in due course.
It is worth remembering that achieving the various lockdown lifting dates is subject to whether key tests are being met, including the vaccine roll-out going to plan, and no surge in hospital admissions. The earliest dates for hospitality reopening are:
- No earlier than 12 April: – Restaurants and pub gardens will be allowed to serve customers sitting outdoors; customers can meet in a group of up to six people from different households; a maximum of two households can meet to form a group of any size
- No earlier than 17 May:- Hospitality venues can seat customers indoors; parties can be made up of a maximum of six people or two households of any size; groups seated outside must be smaller than 30 people
- No earlier than 21 June – All restrictions lifted
As you might expect, our local pubs are keen to have us back as soon as possible, so are planning accordingly, including taking booking for tables. Don’t hang about if you want a seat… those places taking bookings are filling up quickly!!
