The pub group has confirmed that 70 per cent of its establishments in England will welcome back customers from April 12 ahead of the next stage of the Government’s road map out of lockdown.

Marston’s bosses say the focus will be on alfresco hospitality and that pubs which can accommodate customers in outdoor gardens will open next month with an adapted offering in line with restrictions.

Key details across all Marston’s pubs regarding re-opening will include adapted food and drink offers for customers to enjoy outdoors, an online ordering system called ‘Marston’s Tap’ and table bookings being taken via each pub’s website.

"The resilience of our pub managers and pub partners during this time has been admirable and we look forward to safely welcoming back guests and reuniting friends and family.”

The pubs’ re-opening in mid-April comes ahead of a traditionally busy period for the industry, including St George’s Day, May bank holidays and half-term.
