Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Monday that as part of his roadmap out of lockdown, he hoped that hospitality venues could reopen from April 12 for outdoor service only. People will be able to meet friends or family in beer gardens or to eat dinner outside for example, but only as a group of six or a mixture of two households. The Prime Minister hopes that hospitality venues will be able to open for indoor service from May 17 when indoor mixing will be allowed again, but again abiding by the rule of six or two household rules. It is not until June 21 at the earliest that it is hoped there will be no limits on social contact. Here's how you can start planning for eating and drinking through the spring and summer in Leeds:
