Picture this: a cold pint, from an actual glass and a delicious meal, served right to your table on something other than a plastic container!

That dream that you’ve been dreaming for just over 100 days is finally coming true as pubs and restaurants open their doors once again from Saturday 4th July.

There will be a lot of changes in place, all meant to keep you, your families and the staff at your establishment of choice safe and healthy. All of Bedminster’s restaurants and bars that are opening have passed very strict safety testing. Tables will all be further apart than normal, staff will be wearing full PPE and disinfecting more often and there will be clear communication as to the direction of movement and any other measures that have been put in place.

As per government guidelines, no groups larger than 6 are allowed to dine together and you’ll be required to provide contact information in case for potential Track & Trace.

Here is your guide to where you can grab a drink this weekend in Bedminster!

Bristol Beer Factory Taproom (291 North Street, www.bristolbeerfactory.co.uk)

The team at BBF are ready to go with a few changes from what you might have been used to before things closed up in March. There will be indoor and outdoor seating on a first come first served basis and a queuing system to get a table.

You can also take advantage of their incredible takeaway option. 50% off draft beer when you bring your own container, park beers, anyone?
