Pub managers in Hackney have spoken to the Gazette about their experience opening the doors after the coronavirus lockdown gradually eased.
On April 12 pubs across the nation reopened after months in lockdown but only to serve customers outside.
The Gun on Well Street got off to a tough start missing the first Monday after struggling to get tables outside.
Then on opening day heaters blew, the cellar cooler exploded, the drains blocked and the whole thing cost them about £7,000.
