This weekend will see bars and restaurants across the country opening their doors for the first time in more than 100 days.

 

The government gave the green light for the easing of the coronavirus lockdown to continue on July 4.

 

And as they get ready to open their doors again in Wimbledon, and elsewhere, it will be a different experience than before the pandemic.

 

Most restaurants and pubs will have fewer tables and require booking with table service only.

 

Customers will also need to provide ID and contact details in case they need to be traced if there is a positive case of coronavirus.

 

Ahead of the reopening of pubs, restaurants and hairdressers the leader of Merton Council has called on residents to support their local businesses.

 

Stephen Alambritis said “ In Merton we have 6,000 businesses of varying sizes, but a great proportion of those are small businesses, family firms, local companies. As these  businesses begin to open once again, the support of you, their customers, has never been more important.

 

“That is why my message to you is clear; come and show your support to your local traders – they need your custom to stay alive.”

 

The following restaurants and pubs in Wimbledon town centre are set to reopen on July 4:

Al Forno
All Bar One
Bill’s
Café Mori
Café Yori
The Garratt and Gauge
The Wibbas Down
Touro’s Brazilian Steakhouse
