Yet another blow to our valiant ever resourceful restaurants. With Easter looming the interiors are again off bounds. Fortunately, the glorious spring weather is making it all the more pleasurable to enjoy dining on the terraces. Understandably many restaurants have decided to wait a little longer before opening. So, this week we have some restaurants with open terraces, others still simply offering their wide variety of delicious takeaway options. Many still delivering to your home. So do call and check first. Either way please support these restauranteurs who have worked so very hard to bring food to our tables during the worst of times.
