From beer gardens to terraces over 100 places to eat/drink outside in Greater Manchester from 12 April
The Government has decreed that on 12 April (at the earliest) beer gardens and al fresco dining options can open again.
From that date, you can finally bob along to a terrace, beer garden, pavement cafe or whatever other fancy European-chic name you want to give it with up to six people from two different households. You'll be able to enjoy a bite to eat or even - shock horror - a few drinks without a 'substantial meal' accompanying them. You'll be able to throw some money at your favourite restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes and pop-ups who have been through the mill for the past 12 months.
Get in.
Here is our A-Z of restaurants in Greater Manchester that have an outdoor spot to sit and eat or drink (however small). We will be updating this one. Do let us know if we've missed any and we will add them to the list.
