Week 6 of our blog series supporting local businesses and we’re beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, there are still a lot of restrictions in place, and for good reason, but shops, cafés, and restaurants are starting to be given an idea of what their ‘exit plan’ will look like.

This weekend is a Bank Holiday, so we’re back to choosing our top 5 picks for a BARBECUE. If you are able to support the businesses local to you, we highly encourage you to do so. This is a team effort and we can come out of this far stronger if we support each other.

(All of the information in this post is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but please check with the individual businesses to confirm.)
