Pubs and bars in the Southport, Formby and West Lancashire area are now offering some great takeaway and delivery services.
New Tier 3 Covid-19 restrictions came into force in Southport and across the Liverpool City Region last Wednesday, only to be followed by Lancashire.
The rules saw many ‘wet’ pubs and bars have to temporarily close their doors. Some that serve ‘substantial’ meals such as lunch and dinner have remained open, although bookings have been down due to restrictions on mixing between households.
Southport & West Lancs Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) has now compiled a valuable list of venues that are offering to allow customers to still enjoy their favourite drinks at home.
CAMRA spokesperson Neville Grundy said: “The Tier 3 restrictions that have been imposed upon Merseyside and Lancashire mean that drink-based pubs have now been closed for a second time this year, while food pubs can sell you drinks but only when you are having a meal.
“Some pubs are now offering takeaway and delivery services.
“Local CAMRA members have been telling me which pubs and breweries in our area that are doing this.”

Neville Grundy said: “I’ve tried to ensure these details are correct. If any other local pubs and breweries are doing deliveries or takeaways, tell us via the contact details on the CAMRA Southport & West Lancs website – www.southport.camra.org.uk – for inclusion in a future column.
“You can order on-line from other beer businesses using CAMRA’s Brew2You website – brew2you.co.uk – which aims to support pubs and breweries through these difficult times.
“This site connects you with local businesses selling great beer, and perhaps other drinks too. “Your money will be paid in full to the businesses concerned, with only 5% admin fee to cover costs, thereby making this service completely free to the businesses using it.”
