2. Be prepared to queue
If you are heading to the town last minute, or forgot to book a table, you must be prepared to line up outside in a socially distanced queue and patiently wait your turn.
Queues formed outside many of the popular al fresco drinking spots on Saturday, such as Revolution, Aurora and Isaacs along the waterfront, with police issuing dispersal orders to a number of punters drinking at the quayside after failing to get into any of the town s hotspots.
And as there is no longer a curfew in place, many people appear to be pitching up at a table and staying there all day and into the night. So it s one out, one in!

When hotel manager Angisan Nuwan Jayasena was called upon, he did what needed to be done.
Mr Jayasena is the general manger of the Novotel Hotel in Ipswich, and lives in Romford, Essex, but he answered the call of Ipswich Hospital to help deliver medicines to vulnerable people when it mattered. I registered on the Goodsam volunteering app quite some time back, about six months ago, he said. As a hotelier and being in the city centre we are part of the community and I wanted to give something back.
