During the second lockdown due to start on 5th November the government had said pubs would not be allowed to sell take-a-way alcohol but thanks to pressure applied by CAMRA and their members contacting their MPs in unprecidented numbers the government has announced sales will be now be allowed in a relaxation of planned lockdown rules in England as follows
-Alcolol can be collected by customers as long as they do not enter the premises
-Customers must order their drink via a website, phone or text message.
-Deliveries are also allowed.
See Coronavirus Update page for pub contact information .

Your local beer is under threat. The Government is set to increase the tax paid by some small independent breweries in the UK. This could lead to brewery closures and less choice at the bar for you. CAMRA has joined calls for the Government to think again – we need your help to persuade them that this is bad for UK brewing and bad for consumers. You can help by signing the petitition.
