"It has been really tough but we are hoping that next month we will be able to open, in line with government guidance.
"We already have hand sanitiser available for customers for when they enter and leave the pub and we have all the markings and 2 metre distances marked out.
"We have things set in place already for when we are allowed to open, we are positive with new systems that we can maintain social distancing to keep our customers safe.

"We are lucky that we have a big space, we look forward to opening - when the government allows us to - and welcoming our customers back."
