Ryan Doyle, director of sales at Park Regis, said: “The team at Park Regis can’t wait to welcome you back!

“With step 2 of the roadmap fast approaching and outdoor hospitality returning we have invested in our chic 1565 Terrace, bringing you a beautifully lit space serving a new menu and an extensive list of drinks.

“We can’t guarantee the weather but bring a blanket, brolly or sun cream and we will guarantee you a wonderful time.”

Mr Doyle added: “Our employee and guest welfare is paramount and we were delighted to be amongst the first venues to receive the Quality in Tourism ‘Safe, Clean and Legal’ accreditation, which focuses on standards of hygiene and cleanliness as well as COVID-19 protocols.”

Luisa Huggins, media and communications manager at Westside BID, said: “I’m thrilled to see the initial reopening of several Westside businesses from 12 April.

“All Westside businesses have done an incredible job of maintaining brand awareness and functioning in the best possible way, but they are now so pleased that doors will be reopening very soon.

“Over the last few months, we have witnessed venues implementing a range of safety measures and procedures, so I am confident that they will be reopening in accordance with government guidance, to keep customers safe.”

Ms Huggins added: “As a whole area, the morale has lifted now a road map to emerging from lockdown has been revealed, and we are counting down the days to the 12 April and then hopefully the 17 May landmark dates.”
