As of Monday, May 17, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops can reopen indoors to serve food and drink for customers, a month after they could reopen outdoors.
A number of establishments have been unable to reopen until this stage of the roadmap, due to not having enough outdoor space to safely and legally reopen in April.
