It s the day pub lovers have been waiting for: beer gardens, pub lunches and the return of a cold pint of draft. Come Monday (April 12) all these things will be making a return for the first time in more than three months, when lockdown lifts further to allow hospitality venues to reopen outdoors. In all cases the current Government regulations will apply, including table service and mask wearing while using any indoor toilet facilities. Many will ask for test and trace contact details and while the new Government rules mean that two families can now meet outside, regardless of their size, the majority of pubs appear to be sticking to a strict Rule of Six allowance, limiting up to six people regardless of family size.
