This upcoming weekend has been dubbed 'Super Saturday' as the hospitality industry has been given the green light to reopen by the government.
This means that pubs, restaurants, bars, cinemas and much more will be able to reopen with strict new measures in place.
And this means that more eateries will be able to reopen in one of our city's shopping malls, Cabot Circus.
Cabot Circus have today (July 3) confirmed which branches will be reopening across the Mall on Saturday (July 4) and on Monday (July 6).
Some shops have been open since June 15 when the government allowed non-essential retail shops to open up once again and these include Victoria's Secret, Zara, JD Sport's and H&M.
Now, many more restaurants and cafes at the shopping centre have been given the go-ahead to reopen again tomorrow (July 4).
The all you can eat restaurant L'Osteria will be opening tomorrow, whilst Coal Kitchen is due to open on July 6 as well as restaurant TGI Friday's.
The following restaurants are already currently open for takeaway or delivery in Cabot Circus: GBK, Five Guys, Tortilla, KFC, Slim Chickens and Nando’s.
