  • Indoor spaces of Pubs and Bars for the provision of a ‘main table meal’ with the serving of alcohol being ancillary to this (table service only). Government advise not to provide activities such as bands, live sport screening etc.
  • Pubs and Bars with outdoor spaces (E.G. beer gardens) are permitted to sell alcohol in these spaces where they are already licensed (table service only). Government advise not to provide activities such as bands, live sport screening etc.
