Here are some York pubs which are and aren't reopening after lockdown

Their ability to reopen will depend primarily on whether they can serve 'substantial meals.'

Many in the city centre are set to re-open. The Red Lion in Merchantgate will open, with customers offered the chance to eat in Covid-secure, heated wooden pods in the beer garden.

The Hop in Fossgate will reopen with a 'drinkers special substantial meal food option' of a Margherita pizza for £2.50.

But John Pybus, landlord of the Blue Bell in Fossgate, said it certainly couldn't reopen to the general public and was seeking clarification as to whether it might be possible to open later in a very limited way to small numbers of pre-booked customers.

And Paul Crossman, landlord of the Volunteer Arms, Slip Inn and Swan in Clementhorpe, said none of his pubs could reopen with York in Tier 2, as they didn't have commercial kitchens, and he hoped York could move into Tier 1 later this month.

Meanwhile, out in Bishopthorpe, Gordon Watkins, landlord of the Ebor Inn, said it wouldn't be easy but it would be reopening tomorrow.

Some of the pubs which are reopening aren't doing so until Thursday, for example because of delivery difficulties.

Here are some of the York pubs which will be reopening this week, and some which will stay closed, for now.
