    I love the bit in that article where someone says to see it as physical distancing not social distancing, I will be using that on my pre opening training nights

    Sam Will you be expecting customers on a Saturday to the LCC club. I actually had to look up LCC as I call it the old C&B still.  I have been in to my office next to the Monument several times and The Monument pub is actually fully boarded up. Depressing.  I was thinking pubs round that area with not a big footfall would be ok over a weekend. But then again other people may have the same idea. Some big pubs at Canary Wharf  too which don’t get busy on a weekend afternoon.

    Saturday was always a busy day for us for people coming up from Kent and Essex, being close to Cannon Street, London Bridge and Liverpool Street stations helps that, and there's a lot more stuff open at the weekend around us compared to 5-10 years ago. The monument is our go to pub for a drink on our break or if we run out of anything, we have a decent relationship so fingers crossed they return soon.

    My local is a Greene King. It is not opening from 4th July apparently. No indication of when it will open as yet.

    Is it still the miserable woman that owns that? I know that her attitude turns a lot of people off going there and her son is also a strange one. It’s actually the closest pub to me but wouldn’t go there in a million years.

    12 seems quite a large table to serve safely

    It's all about The one bell for pubs in this area. Small pub though so social distancing will be very difficult in there.

    The weekend and the week after the reopening of pubs and bars will be mayhem, I will leave it a week or two before trying to go to a pub, let the youngsters drink themselves unconscious,

    Was thinking of meeting up with a lady friend for a social Sunday afternoon drink so looking for a local(ish) pub to Sidcup with a beer garden or somewhere where you can sit outside......and not on the pavement with oiks & kids on bikes passing by every few seconds. 

    My only thoughts were either Chiselhurst or Danson Stables. Anything else....??? Bromley /Bickley area maybe or slightly further out. We've been to the one in Farningham before & I suppose there is always the one in Otford.

    The Bull Chislehurst but I assume it will be rammed.

    Buy some wine and have a picnic over Five Arches. I believe Asda is open on Saturdays.

    There seems to be a lot leaving it for the first week or two, seems like a good idea to me

    I did hear that they open other days as well.......but I think it's just a rumour.

    I'd give Eynsford/Farningham a wide berth at the moment. Plenty of oiks, and offspring of oiks.

    I've almost certainly seen you in LCC then. Used to go quite regularly with work.

    The Woodman in Farnborough Village is fantastic.
    You'll have to check if they are open though.

    The Chequers in Kemsing is a great little pub.
    Big garden and good sized car park.
    It’s a Shepherd-Neame pub.
