The summer weather so far has not been very promising so it may come as a huge relief to Northampton' s regular pub-goers that they will no longer have to endure the cold and rain to enjoy a pint with their friends.
May 17 saw the further easing of lockdown restrictions and now all indoor hospitality is allowed to welcome customers back after five long months.
Two households or groups of six can now mix indoors and enjoy that much needed social catch-up in the warm.
Here is a list of Northampton pubs that have opened their doors back up to locals.
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.
