The Hereford Times is continuing its campaign to help local pubs and dining venues get back on their feet as lockdown restrictions are eased.

We want to hear from owners so we can help them welcome back their customers.

We are offering FREE shout-outs as part of our #LoveLocalBusiness campaign to help the Herefordshire economy recover from the coronavirus lockdowns.

RELATED NEWS:

Unless government guidance changes, pubs, cafes and restaurants will welcome back groups of up to six people or two households indoors from May 17 (from April 12 they have been allowed to host drinkers and diners in outside seating areas).

If you are a publican – or cafe owner/restaurateur – all you have to do is submit your details and a picture using the button at the very end of this report. Your message won't appear immediately, but we'll upload it as soon as we can.

Please join us in toasting a rapid return to prosperity for all our drinking and dining venues!
