The wait is finally over. From today (May 17), indoor hospitality has been allowed to reopen to customers up and down the country so, from today, we can enjoy dining inside our favourite restaurants and eateries.
The news will come as a relief to many residents with the recent flooding and bad weather making it difficult for locals for enjoy their al fresco dining experience, which has been allowed since April 12.
Although the last year has been a struggle for local restaurants across Northampton, many members of staff have taken it upon themselves to use the extra time to give their interiors a new lease of life.
The Chron is pleased to give you a preview of the beautiful restaurants you can now visit across the town from today.
We will be adding more venues to our confirmed list as the week goes on. Please email [email protected] with a picture of your restaurant's interior if you would like your business to be included!
