As the UK looks to emerge from the COVID-19 lockdown, business leaders have been calling upon the Government to set out its plan for how we might return to some sense of normality. Unsurprisingly, the hospitality industry has been amongst the most vocal, given numerous concerns over the practicalities of reopening venues under social distancing guidelines.

Indications are that a phased approach to reopening venues is likely, with priority given to those best suited to operating under social distancing rules, such as café's with open outdoor space, perhaps followed by restaurants, and then, in time, pubs.
