MIDLANDS-based Marston’s has confirmed that all of its pubs across Wiltshire will be able to reopen for both indoor and outdoor service from MondayMay 17.

They include the Generous George in Hilperton, Red Admiral in Trowbridge, Water Meadow in Melksham, The Old Lane in Chippenham and The Hourglass in Devizes,

Ralph Findlay, Marston’s chief executive, said: “It’s fantastic that our pubs can reopen inside and out.

“Over the past few weeks, we have seen people visit pub gardens, come rain or shine, for the pure enjoyment of socialising with friends and family.

“Our teams can’t wait to fully open the doors and welcome back guests, it’s been a long time coming and we encourage everyone to safely visit and support their local.”

All pubs will adhere to government guidance. Table service will take place, but guests will be able to order via the Marston’s Tap online ordering system.

The online platform is available across most pubs and a full roll-out is underway following its success.

Customers can book a table prior to their visit, but this is not essential and walk ins are welcome for both food and drink.

The outdoor facilities which opened in April are still available across a wide selection of Marston’s pubs for those who are happier socialising outdoors.
