As pubs in the United Kingdom remain closed due to the pandemic, pub owners have urged the government to clarify plans to reopen beer gardens by the end of June.
But publicans, brewers and the pub industry trade body said many would struggle to be ready in under three weeks and called for certainty about the government’s timetable.
The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) wants the government to allow all pubs to open from 4 July, the date the government initially put forward as the earliest possible opportunity, and it has also said the 27,000 UK pubs with outdoor space should be the first to be allowed to open their doors.
