Cold spring: operators have invented food and drink offers that include hot water bottles or hot drinks to keep customers warm outside
The Morning Advertiser (MA) asked operators how they had adapted to trading at the mercy of a cold British spring.
Since pubs reopened for outdoor trade in England last month, operators have had to ensure customers are not deterred from meeting up for a pint on cold days.
Many pubs invested in outdoor heaters in addition to outdoor structures such as pergolas and marquees.
Some pubs have even ensured they have hot water bottles and blankets on hand if customers have not wrapped up.
