Wetherspoon’s is starting to plan for a reopening of its pubs and hotels “in or around June”, the company has claimed, despite the UK remaining in government-mandated lockdown and no go-ahead as yet for easing physical distancing measures.

The pub chain’s boss Tim Martin was forced to close all 900 pubs and furlough 40,000 workers before Britain went on lockdown on 23 March.

But he sparked controversy and prompted calls for a boycott of the chain when he claimed closing pubs was “over the top” and that supermarkets posed a bigger risk of spreading coronavirus than bars.

He later refused to pay workers until he received the appropriate government bailout and sparked further anger and accusations of hypocrisy when he told his workers to get jobs at Tesco instead.

I would of thought that pubs would be one of the last places to open. Social distancing and pubs don't go together very well.

Other restrictions to be lifted in May/June, pubs will be one of the last to reopen.

Wetherspoons have that order at the table app so shirley they can re-open but with limited numbers let in and the tables 2m apart. If you need the toilet you have to put your hand up.

There's a pub near me serving draught pints etc to your door from a van. Totally unlicensed but getting away with it so far it seems. 5-10pm every night.

Proper pubs aren't going to open soon. Might even have to charge a premium as won't be packed for a long time.

I think tv/media need to have a programme showing what 2m is,its 2m not 2ft,nearly 6ft,most of the exsamples I see on media is nearer 2ft than 6ft,and most experts seem to think it should really be nearer 6/8 metres

They've temporarily stopped, but starting it again soon. It's a great idea imo and hopefully the cops won't object to their licence renewal because of it.
