Manager of Brunello Lounge, in Weston’s Beach Road, Liam Giddings, said: “It s been great to see lots of smiling faces. We had people in from 9am, so we had a really busy breakfast.
“In lockdown we survived by doing takeaway. It’s been a very hard battle, but we did it. We will keep doing takeaways because some people aren’t quite ready to come back yet.
“We can’t wait to open indoors. I think everyone is looking forward to getting back to a slightly more normal life.”
Demetris Taverna, in Richmond Street, is reopening on May 18. Owner Demetris Demetriou says the financial support offered during the pandemic has helped keep restaurants in business.
He said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming people back. I want to say how grateful we are to the Government for all the grants and support they have given us over the past year, because without it a lot of businesses would have gone completely.
