PUBS will be allowed to open their doors from 6am tomorrow, it was confirmed today.

Tomorrow is Super Saturday, meaning Brits can finally sit in their local and order a pint three months after they were ordered to temporarily close amid the coronavirus crisis.

Restaurants and cafes are also allowed to start serving customers again and not just for takeaways.

The Government said that most ofthe new rules and regulations would be in place just after midnight.

But pubs wouldn't be allowed to reopen until 6am – just in case anyone wanted to try and get a late-night pint in.

However, it wil depend on the licence that each pub has as to when they can actually serve you a drink.

The PM's spokesperson said this lunchtime the change was "a sensible precaution just to stress that pubs shouldn’t open at midnight.

"The reopen date should be in the daytime on July 4th." 

Wetherspoons will be opening their chains at 8am tomorrow.

They will reopen 750 pubs on July 4 after Boris Johnson gave the green light, but you unlike other boozers you can't currently book tables in advance.

Pubs have been kitted out with screens, posters and floor markings to help keep customers safe.

But Greene King pubs are not to due to return and welcome customers until Monday – to give landlords and managers enough time to make sure branches are "Pubsafe" – or Covid-19 secure.

A spokesperson for the chain said: "We have decided to open our managed pubs from Monday July 6 so we can open as many as possible with our Pubsafe promises in place for the safety of our customers and team members.

"We look forward to welcoming back customers to our pubs and providing that great hospitable pub experience we all love."

Some police forces – including Devon and Cornwall – have said punters would have a two hour limit on staying in any establishment.

However, No10 stressed this would not be a rule implemented across the country, and it would be down to different forces to implement their own rules.

A spokesperson said it was "not part of the regulations… pubs and restaurants in particular do sometimes put time-limits you can have a table for."

But going back the local on Saturday won't be the same as it was before.

Instead you'll have to stick to tough new rules to keep everyone safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

People will have to book ahead, and in some places order via an app.

Table service will be required, and in many pubs you won't be allowed to order at the bar.

All tables must be spaced out enough so there's a good distance between them.

People will only be allowed to go out to the pub with one other household at a time.

And the lead member will have to leave their contact details with the pub just in case there's an outbreak, or they end up near someone who later tests positive for the virus.

Those details will be destroyed by the pubs after 21 days.
