Pubs welcomed back punters today as the government reached stage two of its roadmap out of lockdown.
Hospitality venues are now allowed to serve food and drink to customers outside in line with the coronavirus restrictions.
But what time do they close and is there still a national curfew in place?
While pubs had to serve their last pints at 10pm and have customers cleared out by 11pm under the last year's lockdown rules, things are a bit different for businesses this time around.
The 10pm curfew has been scrapped, so there's no official closing time imposed on venues by the government.
Instead, licensing laws will determine how late establishments will be allowed to serve alcohol.
The government was criticised for introducing a 10pm curfew to prevent the spread of coronavirus last year after scenes of busy city centre streets and crammed public transport emerged at kick-out time.
Ahead of the reopening of pubs today, prime minister Boris Johnson urged the nation to “behave responsibly” as life took another step back towards normality.
Thirsty punters made their way to pubs across England to brave the chill for their first pub-poured pint.
Last year's requirement to order a substantial meal with an alcoholic drink has also been scrapped by the government.
However, social distancing and rules on household mixing still apply.
Only groups of up to six people, or two households, are permitted to drink together at venues.
Indoor hospitality is not set to make a return until at least May 17.
