With mass closures across the UK as a result of coronavirus restrictions, pubs have been badly affected by the pandemic.

In England, nearly three-quarters of the pubs promised a £1,000 grant by the prime minister to help them survive the loss of Christmas sales in England are still waiting for the money, the industry trade body has warned. The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) warned that much of the industry was on the verge of financial ruin.
