The Merrier Harrier in Penarth will not reopen despite having a large outdoor space and Brains Brewery announces that none of their managed pubs will under current Welsh Government guidelines.

Brains Brewery said: ''During lockdown we have been working incredibly hard to be ready to reopen our pubs indoors and outdoors safely for the benefit of our team members and customers.

"We are waiting to be given a date and guidelines for the full reopening of pubs from the Welsh Government, which we hope will be as soon as possible.

"We want our customers to be able to use all of the facilities in our pubs come rain or shine and to receive a warm welcome back in safe surroundings. We will not be able to do that by opening outdoors only from 13th July and so we will not open any of our managed pub gardens on that date.

"We really look forward to welcoming back our customers when we are given the green light to open fully. Thank you for your patience and loyalty."

The Windsor pub also falls under Brains pub management but doesn't have an outdoor space.

The Pilot and the Albion pubs are leased out and so they are able to make their own decisions about their reopenings.
