Anyone been yet? It's always good to have a pint after a caving trip or walk. What pubs are open and how were they operating? Here's a couple to start.
The Marton Arms was open at the weekend for drinks only. I understand it is open tonight through the weekend again. It is doing accommodation with a continental breakfast but no food in the bar. Book a table in two hour slots. Table service for drinks only and there is a reduced number of tables. I understand they intend to start doing a limited menu in a few weeks time.
The Game Cock in Austwick is open each day. We had a beer and sat outside. You follow a one way route to the bar and out the other door. It tasted good. They are doing food as well but with reduced tables inside. They did have a couple of seats in the bar area where you can sit just for a drink. Contactless payments of course.
Both have protection for their employees and take contact details for track and trace. I found the system a little alien but the beer and chance to chat with friends quickly overcame that. I'll be taking the family out at the weekend - any recommendations?
