Norfolk pub owner worried about impact a second lockdown could have on industry
From tomorrow, pubs will have to close at 10pm
A Norfolk pub owner is worried about the impact further coronavirus restrictions could have on the pub industry.
Nigel Davies co-owns microbrewery the Hop In in North Walsham.
His concerns come after Boris Johnson revealed pubs will have to close their doors at 10 o'clock from tomorrow.
But Nigel's pub is running on reduced hours anyway at the moment, so he won't be affected by the new curfew.
He says a lot of businesses have been struggling:
"Obviously, the industry has taken a big hit from March up until the end of lockdown anyway.
"We know a lot of the pubs and brewers across Norfolk and lots of them have really struggled.
"These new restrictions that have been put in place will probably affect the bigger pubs more than us.
"We will see, but it's going to be a rough time if we end up with a lockdown again. How all the pubs are going to survive, I don't know, to be honest."
