Wetherspoons confirms opening hours for Portsmouth pubs reopening on May 17 - including Isambard Kingdom Brunel, John Jacques, First Post, Sir John Baker

The latest stage of the easing of lockdown restrictions is set to take place today.

It will see indoor hospitality, including pubs, allowed to reopen for the first time in 2021.

Pubs in Portsmouth were shut before Christmas as the city was put in tier four restrictions in December.

The Lord Palmerston in Southsea and the Sir Alec Rose in Port Solent reopened for outdoor customers on April 12.

But from Monday the rest of the city’s Wetherspoons pubs will reopen.

This includes: The John Jacques in Fratton, The Isambard Kingdom Brunel near the Guildhall, The Sir John Baker in North End and The First Post in Cosham.
