Opening in 4 days There are just a few days to go now until you can head down to your local for a pint and a bite to eat - provided it has a beer garden. Scores of pubs in Dorset have been preparing their outdoor seating areas ready for the big re-opening on April 12. You won t be able to go inside the pubs just yet. But sitting outdoors will be the next best thing - especially if the weather stays good. Some locals have traditional beer gardens, some narrow courtyards. A few have set up overhead coverings. Some might even have outdoor heating. All are looking forward to welcoming customers back.
