A bistro has produced a 'prohibition drinks menu' in a tongue-in-cheek swipe at the new alcohol ban.
Bistro 8, based in Blackwood, features alcohol-free beers and wines as well as an array of cocktails.
The venue has created the menu following the introduction of new regulations in Wales which mean pubs and restaurants are banned from serving alcohol, as well as forcing them to close at 6pm.
The rules have been introduced in a bid to reduce increasing rates of coronavirus.
The menu is entitled ‘The Drakeford Times’, after Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford, who announced the new rules last week.

Connor Rogers, manager of Bistro 8 said: “It has been a very challenging year all round, so this was just a little joke really, which we thought customers might like.
“People like to go out and have a drink and we thought not only can we provide something for them while we can’t serve alcohol, but we’d also have a bit of fun. It has definitely got people talking."
Despite there being absolutely no alcohol in the drinks, Connor said they are selling really well.
"People are still wanting to come out even though they can’t drink. I think they are missing the social side of that," he added.
“We are still getting bookings, even if most people are not going out like they used to.
“Hopefully, we are putting a smile on some faces”.
Bistro 8’s novel offerings feature 0% beers and wines, as well as an array of ‘mocktails’.
