Good Morning Britain presenter Alex Beresford has issued advice for any Brits holidaying in the UK this year.
As more of us are likely to be taking a summer break within our shores, Bristol's Beresford has recommended holidaymakers pre-book their restaurants.
He says this is not as fun as strolling past restaurants deciding on where to eat, but Covid restrictions on numbers and busy resorts can see places at a premium.

The 40-year-old ITV weather presenter and occasional GMB host said on twitter: "Holidaying at home? Quick tip! Pre book all your restaurants.
"It’s not as fun as strolling past several before choosing like you normally could, but much better than the burger van. #sorrywearefull #covid."
Many other people joined in, offering their advice for dining out as well as ways to support restaurants.
Ghislaine Hull said: "And if you do book them make sure you turn up! The number of people who book tables and then don't turn up or even bother to ring and cancel is shocking."
Pamela Carvell replied: "Better still, turn up at the restaurant you really want to go to, say ‘when the next person ‘no-shows’ please call me on my mobile and we’ll be back here in 5 mins.
