Your ultimate guide to where to eat this weekend onwards.
Rejoice – our favourite bars and restaurants are finally opening, meaning we can hang out with our loved ones without having to sit two metres apart in a field, unable to drink because there are no toilets nearby. It’s set to be a magical affair which will see thousands across the country finally reunite after months apart… But where exactly will be open?
Although the government has given the greenlight for bars and restaurants to fling open their doors on July 4th, not everywhere is ready to welcome us back in a rush. Don’t panic, though, because a large handful of restaurants are prepared to greet us with open (socially-distanced) arms – offering a slice of pre-pandemic life at long last.
