MANY pubs will be welcoming guests into their outdoor areas next week.

Wales' first minister Mark Drakeford has confirmed that from Monday April 26 pubs and restaurants in Wales can re-open their outdoor areas.

The Brains and Marston's pub operator has confirmed that more than 130 pubs across Wales will re-open outdoors from April 26.

Marston's chief executive, Ralph Findlay, said: “We are delighted many of our pubs and Brains’ pubs across Wales will reopen and teams can welcome back guests.

"It’s been a challenging time, but we are excited to see friends and family reunite and enjoy going out once again.”

Here's what you need to know:

  • Food and drink offers have been adapted for customers to enjoy outdoors and will include much-loved pub food along with vegan and vegetarian options
  • To accompany table service, Marston’s has introduced an online ordering system called ‘Marston’s Tap’. The online platform is available across the majority of Marston’s pubs for guests to use and a full rollout is underway following its success last year.
  • Brains’ pubs will also operate an online ordering system for guests to use during their visit.
  • Bookings are accepted and places can be reserved via each pub's website, but walk-ins are allowed.
  • Toilets and baby changing facilities will be available
