.Marquees in pub gardens.

[Venod]

Just been watching the news and that Generic bloke was saying there is some extra cash so Marquees could be erected in pub gardens, if you can crowd people in a marqee, why can't you let them in the pub?

In terms of epidemiological considerations, I wouldn't have thought one enclosed structure is any different to another one.

What is the craic with cash for marquees?

I priced a very basic marquee to carry out covid testing and it came in around £1200 plus vat and about 180 per week after that for 15m long and 8m wide including water weights.

Is it just another way to wriggle round the rules?

I think so, most flat roofed pubs seem to have one in the car park along with plenty of England flags.

Marquees don't need to have 4 walls (or even any walls)

No one ever called a marquee 'cosy', the air throughput with even a gentle breeze is good enough to be outside, but at least you don't get wet if it rains.

Next question: If you smoke in a marquee, are you inside or outside ?

I think I'll wait until the pubs open properly, we've waited this long another month won't kill us.

A lot of pubs with outside space are apparently fully booked for "opening day" What happens if it pi--es down!

It's not 'wriggling around the rules' ..... if those are the rules.
Marquees will be a lot more airey than being sat inside a bar.

True. Do the rules state that the sides have to be up so it's more like a gazebo. If not, judging by the sauna like marquees I've been in, it'd be safer to reopen the air conditioned pubs..

For me, the whole point of going to the pub (now that I no longer have small children) is that it is spontaneous. Not interested if I have to pre plan sitting in a beer garden. I've got used to not going to the pub so I'll probably be waiting too

why do you have to preplan?
Fair chance I will be in a beergarden when those open.
And almost certainly inside a pub on May 17.

The preplan is in relation to lots of people reserving a table at said beer gardens. A lot apparently are fully booked for re-opening.

I am with Julia, I go to the pub when I feel like it.

i have several spoons near me - all excellent in their own ways - I seem to recall that they announced that they wouldn't be doing a booking system - very sensible in my view - the world these days is full of selfish gits who reserve and then don't turn up.

I'm teetotal but still enjoy the atmosphere (if you can find a one with some) of a pub and pub garden.
