THE past year has been an extremely difficult time for our hospitality industry. Lockdowns have forced bars, cafes and restaurants to close for months at a time, and they remain only able to offer takeaway at the moment. But with a reopening date set out in the Government s roadmap out of lockdown, it appears brighter days are on the horizon. Cafes, bars and restaurants will be able to reopen from May 17 for up to six people in a group, and even as early as April 12 if customers are seated outside. Despite the difficult circumstances, some businesses have opened new ventures in Colchester during the past year.
