Hall & Woodhouse reveals the pubs included in April opening plans

Hall & Woodhouse has confirmed that nine of its Dorset pubs will open for outdoor use from Wednesday, April 14, following the lifting of government restrictions.

The nine pubs re-opening with a limited menu of classic pub favourites, a contactless ordering system and social distancing measures, include:

• The Angel Inn, Ferndown

• The Crown Hotel, Blandford

• The Grasshopper, Poole

• Lulworth Cove Inn, Wareham

• The Monmouth Ash, Verwood

• The Old Granary, Wareham

• The Olive Branch, Wimborne

• Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills, Weymouth

• The Ship Inn, Weymouth

Matt Kearsey, Managing Director of Hall & Woodhouse, said: "We are delighted to be able to re-open a number of our houses for outdoor use. Our pubs play a vital role in their community and we are excited to be making preparations to welcome our guests back safely. We've missed them.

"We have created all-weather solutions to cope with the obvious challenges of only opening outside in April. Guests will be able to book a number of covered tables if they do not want to take their chances with the Great British weather."

Guests are encouraged to pre-book a table online. Bookings of no more than six people will be available with a 90-minute slot at the table.

The Crown Hotel and The Olive Branch will remain closed on Mondays and will open 11.30am-11pm, Tuesdays - Saturdays, and 12-9pm on Sundays.

The rest of the pubs will open 11.30am-3pm and 5.30-11pm, Tuesdays - Thursdays, from 11.30am-11pm Fridays - Saturdays, and 12-9pm on Sundays.

Guests are advised to check each individual pub's website for food service times.

Hall & Woodhouse will begin the phased re-opening of the rest of its managed house estate across the south from week commencing Monday, May 17, in line with the government's roadmap.
