Easter is just a few days away, and households around Britain will want to know they are prepared.
The bank holiday is known as a time to enjoy gorging on your favourite foods, but whether you’re organising a full Easter spread or just making a last-minute dash for chocolate eggs, it’s worth knowing what is open and when.
The bank holiday weekend can often means reduced or altered opening times, and there’s nothing worse than running out of chocolate.
