It's not long now until pubs can reopen their doors again for outdoor seating.
As part of one company's ongoing Covid-19 secure measures they have invested in outdoor garden spaces to accommodate the easing of restrictions from April 12.
Marston's has invested in the Whittington Cat, Whitehaven pub garden ahead of reopening.

The focus on these newly re-purposed spaces has been in development since last year following the success and demand for outdoor areas during the summer period. The announcement of Marston’s initiative follows Boris Johnson’s lockdown roadmap of easing restrictions, which allows pubs to serve outdoors from 12 April.
Alongside these new garden spaces, Marston’s has introduced an online ordering system, Marston’s Tap, for both food and drinks which guests can use during their visit as well as for takeaway services. The online platform is available across the majority of Marston’s pubs for guests to use and a full rollout is underway following its success last year. Customers will also have access to toilets and baby changing facilities when on site.
With plans now set on the future, the focus on external spaces is set to become more valuable than ever especially to the pub hospitality industry which had to completely shut down during the majority of the pandemic.
Ralph Findlay, CEO of Marston’s, added: “We can’t wait to reopen, it has been a difficult year for everyone and we are delighted that we will be able to reopen some of our pub gardens from the 12 April (government guidance permitting) and once again hear the laughs and chatter that only a pub community brings. Our teams are raring to go and excited to welcome guests back, albeit just in outdoor areas for now. We have created new outdoor spaces with a number of new external dining areas to welcome back friends and families.”
The group has previously released details of how they plan to open their pubs safely.
Pubs owned in Cumbria include:
With the focus on alfresco hospitality, pubs that can accommodate customers in outdoor gardens will operate with an adapted offering in line with restrictions.
