While many of Frodsham's pubs, restaurants and cafés have been offering takeaway services throughout lockdown, and some have been able to use their outdoor spaces since April 12, Monday 17 May will be the first time that all hospitality businesses are allowed to reopen fully.

From Monday, groups of up to six people - or more people if they are from just two different households - will be able to sit inside, while outside gatherings can involve up to 30 people.
