If the government s roadmap goes to plan, after a month of al fresco eating and drinking, restaurants and pubs will be given the green light to reopen indoors from May 17.

They haven t really considered if it s going to rain, said Steve Munson, landlord at the Gull Inn at Framingham Pigot. There will be a lot of businesses that look at the weather in April and think it s not worth putting up a gazebo in the wind and the rain - a lot of places will make the decision to stay closed until it warms up. The game changer is that two households can mix - albeit outdoors. If you can have two couples sitting down for dinner outside that s when you start seeing the revenue. What makes me nervous is that currently we haven t got much news on the extension of financial support and we may be waiting until the budget to hear more about that.

Pubs and restaurants across Norfolk have announced they will be closing their doors for the foreseeable future with tier two restrictions not making opening worth their while.
Norwich s Assembly House announced last week that it would close throughout January, and has now been followed by city pubs the Duke of Wellington, the Trafford Arms and The Grove hotel and restaurant in Cromer.
The Station Smokehouse at Hoveton has also announced it will close for a few days a week until it can reopen fully under tier one rules.
