From this date, pubs have been allowed to welcome customers sat outdoors - whether in beer gardens, terraces or rooftops.

Wetherspoons owns 875 pubs in the UK, including 750 in England.

The remaining pubs without outdoor space are set to reopen in the next stage of lockdown-easing in England, which will take place on May 17 at the earliest.

If plans go ahead on that date, all pubs in England will be able to welcome customers indoors.
