Customers cheered as the first drinks were served at the UK’s biggest pub on Monday after coronavirus restrictions were eased.
A handful of people braved the chilly seaside air in Ramsgate in pursuit of their first “proper” pint in months.
Pippa Ingram, 51, and Sue Bell, 55, were presented with the first drinks at the Royal Victoria Pavilion.
The huge Wetherspoon establishment, which in regular times can hold close to 800 people, is believed to be the biggest pub in the UK and was among the bars nationwide welcoming back customers.
As the pints were brought to their table, Ms Ingram celebrated getting a drink “from a proper pub!”
