In the road map set out by the government, cafes and restaurants are due to fully reopen on May 17, meaning soon visitors may also be able to dine-in with friends at the likes of Muffin Break, 1066 Café and PizzaExpress.

Although April 12 is the earliest date non-essential retail can reopen, it is worth checking with individual stores for exact dates and timings.

Government guidelines are subject to change at short notice.
