One pub in Crayford has gone all out to make sure they can properly welcome customers back today, and in large numbers too.
The Crayford Arms has set up a sizeable marquee in the pub's car park, and as of Monday's reopening, can now house a whopping 124 spaces in the new site.
Pubs with gardens and outdoor seating are reopening across the country today, along with outdoor restaurants, hairdressers and more.
Among them are a number of enticing beer gardens which have reopened in south east London today, offering plenty of opportunity for those eager to enjoy a pint once again.

But the landlord of the Crayford Arms, James Irving, has gone further than most, renting out a huge marquee situated in the middle of the car park.

The marquee is kitted out with 124 spaces, and James said he always tries to "go above and beyond."

On top of the this, a South African Street Food hub has been set up in the middle of the pub's garden available for table orders and for passersby.
James added that he's also booked a singer for this evening (April 12) and for Saturday, plus added new cocktail options in what is clearly a big reopening for the local public house.
