IT FEELS like a lifetime since we last sat in the pub with an ice-cold pint and our favourite packet of crisps.
Under the Prime Minister's current Covid-19 lockdown exit roadmap, beer gardens and restaurants with outside areas can open their doors to punters on April 12.
From May 17, indoor hospitality will open, where the rule of six, or two households, will apply.
So if you fancy seeing yourself behind your very own bar when lockdown ends, or investing in a much-loved, much-missed type of business, here is what could be yours...
