Success of Soho's alfresco revolution sees October extension approved

Soho’s alfresco revolution has been extended until the end of October, after it was credited with seeing hospitality sales rebound by to up to 80% of pre-Covid levels following lockdown.

Restaurant and bar operators in Bolton, where hospitality has been restricted to takeaway-only since 8 September, are urging the government to bring restrictions in the town in line with the rest of the country.

Milk & Honey owner Jonathan Downey has said he had “no choice” but to shut down the Soho bar after the 10pm curfew came into force last week.
