The day is finally arriving when we’ll be able to, once again, head out of our homes to eat food and drink drinks at restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n
From Monday 12 April, you’ll be able to visit venues to order food and drink outside. There’ll be no substantial meal rule and there’ll be no 10pm curfew. Hallelujah.<\/p>\n
But with restaurants’ diaries understandably filling up fast, it’s a bit tricky to know where you’ll actually be able to get a table.<\/p>\n
Here, we’ve rounded up places that still have availability for bookings and the times when you have your best chance of securing a table, as well as places that will have tables available for walk-ins.<\/p>\n
This list was correct when it was last updated on 17 March.<\/p>\n
Apart from the first weekend after restrictions ease, Elnecot has good availability for tables in April. They’ll have their outdoor tables in Cutting Room Square and will also be accepting walk ins.<\/p>\n
Book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n After being inundated with requests after they opened their terrace for bookings, El Gato Negro announced last week that they are taking bookings for their ‘pavement terrace’ on King Street.<\/p>\n Even these are filling up fast with tables only available in the daytime and later on in the evening for the first few weeks of April.<\/p>\n Book a spot here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also taking part in the ‘tapas on the terrace event’ is El Gato’s sister restaurant Canto. There will be 50 covers on Blossom Street, looking out onto Cutting Room Square.<\/p>\n Both events will run 12pm to 10pm in the run up to the restaurants’ official reopenings on May 17. Fridays and Saturdays are busy but other than that there are tables available.<\/p>\n Book for Canto here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tapas on the Terrace<\/p>\n Having recently announced their transformed outdoor terrace<\/a>, The Refuge by Volta still has some limited availability for online bookings. These bookings will be for dining only but there will be limited opportunities for walk-in drinks, especially towards the end of the night.<\/p>\n They’ve also told us that there is availability that opens up each day as people change there plans, so it’s worth checking back regularly if you fancy dining at The Refuge.<\/p>\n Freight Island has had huge demand for bookings since they were announced so as you’d expect, availability is quite limited. However, they do have evening slots free each week from Sunday to Wednesday, so you should still be able to get a table if you book soon.<\/p>\n They’re currently taking bookings until 16 May via their website, where you can also sign up to the mailing list to get early access to bookings next time around. Book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hatch is taking bookings for half of their available tables and saving half for walk-ins. The two opening weekends are sold out but there are still lots of options throughout the week. Take a look at what’s available here<\/a>.<\/p>\nEl Gato Negro<\/h3>\n
