Four Wetherspoons pubs are reopening in Cornwall on April 12 - Cornwall Live

Pub chain Wetherspoon has announced it will be reopening beer gardens, rooftop gardens and other outside spaces at 394 of its 750 pubs in England on April 12.

As coronavirus lockdown restrictions ease on that date, pubs are allowed to open - albeit with restrictions.

Beer gardens can open, takeaway pints are allowed, and anyone sitting in must order via table service.

Queueing at the bar is not allowed, as has been the case since the autumn.

These restrictions mean some pubs with only a small outside space, or no beer garden whatsoever, will not be opening until May 17 at the earliest - when restrictions are scheduled to ease further.

Wetherspoon has confirmed which of its Cornish pubs will be reopening pub gardens and other outdoor spaces.

The Rann Wartha in St Austell, with its outdoor seating lit by standing lamps will be opening.

Joining it is the Green Parrott, Perranporth, the King Doniert in Liskeard, and the Coinage Hall in Helston.

Customers at any of these pubs will be able to get drinks and food from a reduced menu.

The pubs will be open from 9am to 8pm seven days per week, with table and app service available.

Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: “We are looking forward to welcoming our customers and staff back to our pubs.”

Pubs and restaurants in England will be able to serve customers outdoors from April 12 as part of the road map out of the lockdown which has devastated the hospitality sector.

Wetherspoon has 875 pubs in the UK, including 750 in England.
