JD Wetherspoon has revealed that 394 of its UK pubs will reopen on April 12 - and 12 of them are in Hertfordshire.

Pubs will be allowed to serve punters outdoors from mid-April under the government's roadmap out of lockdown.

People will no longer need to order a "substantial meal" with an alcoholic drink and there will be no curfew forcing pubs to close by a certain time.

However, customers must order, eat and drink while seated.

Wetherspoons, which has its headquarters in Watford, has confirmed Waterend Barn in St Albans city centre is among the pubs reopening in April.

Wetherspoons says the sites that will open on April 12 will be open between 9am and 9pm from Sunday to Thursday, and from 9am to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Food will be available between 9am and 8pm, with a slightly reduced menu will be on offer. But this will still include breakfast, burgers, pizza, deli deals, fish and chips and British classics, the pub chain confirmed.

Customers will be able to order and pay through the Wetherspoon app, however, Wetherspoon staff will be able to take orders and payment at the table from those who don’t have the app.

The pubs will not be operating a booking system and customers will be able to enter the pub to gain access to the outside area and also to use the toilet.

Test and trace will be in operation and hand sanitisers will be available.

Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: "We are looking forward to welcoming our customers and staff back to our pubs."
