"Since we reopened outdoors in some of our pubs in April, frequent spells of cold and wet weather have made it particularly trying for our teams who are serving our customers outside.

"Even though the vast majority of our of our pubs will be open next week, we’ll still be operating at significantly reduced capacity, so it’s essential all restrictions disappear as promised on 21 June so we can return to the full pub experience that people have missed so much.”

Greene King have introduced a PUBSAFE scheme, which was developed to keep our loyal customers, as well as our dedicated teams safe and itcontinues to be at the heart of everything they do.
