Events Diary: Re-Opening Day
England was allowed to re-open her pubs after the covid-19 lockdown. There were a lot of stipulations about what could and could not happen. The Swan after review made changes to the layout, processes and procedures and decided to re-open.
How the pub was run is recorded on covid-19 page which has all the salient points along with pictures and videos.
In the weekly email, we used these pictures.
