Bars, cafes and restaurants are encouraged to go al fresco as part of wider efforts to help Adur and Worthing bounce back from the COVID pandemic.
From the end of July, the government is set to give Adur & Worthing Councils powers to issue licenses to food and drink outlets that want to put tables and chairs outside their premises.
Those interested are encouraged to contact [email protected]
Cllr Brian Boggis, Adur District Council's Executive Member for Regeneration, said:
“Pubs, cafes and restaurants play an extremely important role in our local economy which is why we're determined to make it as quick, easy and simple as possible for them to serve customers outdoors in this post-lockdown world.”
It comes as the government opened registration to businesses for its Eat Out to Help Out scheme, which allows firms to offer discounts to diners throughout August.
You can use the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme:
- all day, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 3rd to 31st August 2020
- to offer a 50% discount, up to a maximum of £10 per person, to diners for food or non-alcoholic drinks to eat or drink in
- to claim the money back from the government
Registration, which will close on 31st August, is available at the following link:
