Read our privacy policy After four months of being forced to stay closed due to lockdown, the hospitality industry has finally been given the green light to reopen in England from Saturday 4 July. Despite the fact that Boris Johnson announced that social distancing rules will be reduced from two metres to one metre from Saturday, which will make it easier for venues to reopen, it will still be a challenge for smaller pubs and restaurants. In describing “step three” of the lockdown-easing plans in May, Mr Johnson said the hospitality sector would reopen “at the earliest by July” and that this was subject to scientific advice. However, Scotland’s hospitality sector is set to reopen on 6 July and in Northern Ireland, hotels, bars, pubs and restaurants can reopen from 3 July.
