One of the UK's biggest pub chains is now taking beer garden bookings for when lockdown restrictions ease.
The country's pint-thirsty forward planners can reserve a spot in 442 of Greene King's gardens for April 12 onwards.
The Bury St Edmunds based company launched its booking website this afternoon.
Only slots in around a third of Greene King's hefty estate will be up for grabs however, because the others do not have gardens.
Punters won't be able to drink inside pubs and bars until at least mid-May in England due to the increased risk of coronavirus transmission indoors.
You can book online on Greene King's website here.
You can find out whether your local pub is open using the chain's pub locator tool on its website.
Unfortunately for those who have more leftfield tastes in food and drink Green King will be offering slimmed down menus.
Drinkers will only be able to meet in groups of six or two households, in line with Government regulations.
"We are now taking bookings for our beer gardens in England for Monday 12 April onwards and if all goes to plan with the government roadmap we’ll be set to welcome you back for indoor bookings from Monday 17 May onwards," a spokesperson for the chain said today.
"We will also be opening many of our pubs in Scotland from Monday 26 April, and taking bookings from Friday 9th April – we hope you are as excited as we are!"
