JD Wetherspoon (JDW.L) is set to reopen another 44 pubs with outdoor areas in England on 26 April, as lockdown restrictions continue to ease.

Pubs re-opening next week include locations in London, Guildford, Ilkeston, Lincoln, Morecambe, Camborne, Driffield, Nottingham and Reading. Many will be extending their opening timings for an extra hour each day to make up for lost time.

Wetherspoon will also reopen 60 pubs in Scotland and 32 in Wales on 26 April, while three venues in Northern Ireland will open their doors again from 30 April.

In total, 533 of the company's 871 pubs across the country will be open by the end of the month. The pub chain opened 394 of its locations on 12 April — the date set by the UK government for the reopening of non-essential retail and outdoor operations for hospitality venues.

“We look forward to welcoming our customers and staff back to our pubs," chief executive John Hutson said.

Pubs will be open from 9am to 10pm from Sunday to Thursday and 9am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday, although some may have to close earlier due to restrictions. They will offer a slightly reduced menu that includes breakfast, burgers, pizza, deli deals and fish and chips.

The pubs will not be operating a booking system and 'test and trace' will be in operation.

Pubs have been badly hit by the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, with lockdowns forcing locations to close for big chunks of 2020.

Almost three quarters of UK pubs and restaurants were expecting to shut permanently in 2021, an industry poll indicated in November.

Earlier this year, Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said the pub industry is “on its knees” and needed to reopen to save jobs. He said Wetherspoon alone pays about £10 of tax for every pound of profit it makes.
