THE Wetherspoon pub in Hereford has been told it must do better after people were spotted not socially distancing in large queues. Throughout the day on Saturday (April 17), people eager for the cheap food and drink the chain is famed for lined up outside as they waited for a table in the beer garden. But the pub was slapped with an improvement notice from Herefordshire Council after officers caught people not socially distancing in the queue. A spokesperson for JD Wetherspoon, which runs the Kings Fee in Hereford, said the door staff were preoccupied when the council visited.

Taking to Twitter to discuss the flooding, Mr Throup, the agency s manager for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, said: We have a record of 14 floods of over five metres in Hereford.

A HEREFORD cafe has closed with immediate effect due to fresh concerns over the coronavirus pandemic in the UK. De Koffie Pot, next to the river Wye in the city centre, will be temporarily closed until at least January, its owners said on Sunday. The cafe, along with the Left Bank venue, said the new strain of Covid-19 is a cause for concern and also cancelled the planned event for New Year s Eve. As the largest venue in Hereford, we take our responsibilities extremely seriously, The Left Bank said. We feel that the correct course of action as the Covid virus mutates and perhaps intensifies within the UK is to close the Left Bank Village and De Koffie Pot with immediate effect. We will reopen in the New Year when we feel safe to do so.
