De Koffie Pot in Hereford is back open to customers, serving food and drink.
It is within The Left Bank, which is the biggest venue in Hereford with a capacity of 474 and lots of outdoor space, but to be ultra-safe they are re-opening to up to 170 people and are still planning to keep the 2m distance, as opposed to the government's new 1m-plus guidance.
All customers have to book online before arrival and order all food and drink online.
They will then be allocated tables, where their food will be delivered to them to a nearby table and the customer has to then collect their food and bring it to their table themselves.

"Cannot believe they have only just announced this," it added.
