Wetherspoons has revealed that they are planning to reopen their pubs "in or around" June. In an announcement made on Wednesday, the pub chain explained that because their pubs were very sizeable it would be easier to navigate social distancing.
A spokesman said: “The company is likely to make some changes to its operating model, assuming increased social distancing, and anticipates a gradual recovery in customer numbers. "Wetherspoon pubs are substantially larger than average, and most have outside facilities.The company believes these factors are likely to assist if social distancing measures apply.” Wetherspoons chairman Tim Martin and their chief executive John Hutson will be taking 50% pay cuts and the other board members will also.
