PUBS. We all have a favourite that we can’t wait to get back to when they reopen from Monday.

It will be the first time this year we’ll be able to enjoy a pint at our local haunt and catch up with people outside our household.

Yes it may only be outdoors for now but we’ll be keeping our fingers’ crossed for some dry weather.

What makes a pub depends on many things whether it’s the beer on tap, the food, the regulars or simply somewhere we feel comfortable.

We invited readers to tell us which pubs they are most looking forward to revisiting when lockdown lifts and here’s what they said.
