The countdown for stage two of the Government’s “road map” out of lockdown has begun; and from Monday, April 12, the next set of restrictions will be eased, allowing groups of up to six people or two households to visit the outdoor spaces of pubs and restaurants.

True North Brew Co. owns 12 venues across Sheffield Barnsley and Dronfield, and will be opening eight based in, and near to, the city next week for outdoor drinking and dining.
