Café Fish, Isle of Mull Baby, it’s cold outside… but don’t let that halt the pleasure of eating out this winter! What’s a bobble hat and an extra jumper between friends and family, now that we can once again – with some provisos – go out to eat?
Shutting streets and relaxing outdoor seating rules will help the food and drink industry get back on its feet, writes Lucy Allen Balmy weather is daring us to ditch the jumpers, lawn-mowers are humming and spring blossom is brightening up green spaces across the country, just in time for National Gardening Week (29 April to 5 May).
Crabshakk, Glasgow, opening 27 April
