In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.

Some of them may well still be offering a takeaway beer service and some others will also be selling food takeaways, perhaps even with delivery.

Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.
