Cirencester's hospitality industry finally opened its doors on Saturday.

Pubs and restaurants were permitted to open for the first time, provided safety measures were put in place.

"We were not sure what to expect and we understand some of people's concerns," said Laura Stringer, managers of Jack's Tearooms and Kitchen.

Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard:

"Everyone has been great and accepting of all of the changes we have had to make to ensure you have a safe visit."

The Golden Cross Inn, an Arkell's pub three doors down from Jack's, enjoyed a steady start to the day.

"We have a garden and a Stable Bar as well as the pub itself.

"We are able to spread the flow of people and we are aware that during the day there will be a lot of families looking to meet in a safe environment," said Golden Cross Inn landlord Mark Lindesay.
