This year, we’ve seen a huge change to dining out, a result of the rise of Covid19 and lockdown measures, the re-introduction of dining out with regulatory measures and businesses having to adapt their business models to succeed. This has resulted in us getting a lot more takeaway than dining in, as well as supporting … Continue reading Our ‘best of’ eats and drinks for 2020
