PUBS and restaurants welcomed customers back through their doors as Covid-19 restrictions are loosened.
Now, the increased capacity means there will be less reliance on booking systems and more opportunity for people to walk in without a reservation.
All venues should be offering table service but still be abiding by the rule of six indoors.
Here are five great places where you won't need to book.
1. The Bee’s Mouth, Western Road
One of the coolest little bars in Brighton is operating entirely on a walk-in basis. The bar only reopened briefly last autumn but has been shut since the second lockdown.
The Bee's Mouth is intimate and filled with vibrant colours and decor. The bar itself has a wide range of beers to choose from along with cocktails and wine.
There will be table service for groups of up to six people. Customers will have to get there quickly before it fills up for the night.
2. Good Companions, Dyke Road, Brighton
With two big gardens that have been open since April 12, customers can now venture inside too.
There are plenty of local beers and ales on offer to punters such as drinks from the UnBarred Brewery. The pub is also about to start offering Sunday roasts from May 23.
3. The Wagon and Horses, Church Street
Situated in bustling Church Street the Waggon and Horses is offering spaces inside once again.
As well as plenty of drink options, there will also be regular pub quizzes.
With plenty of room inside and out, there should be space for most. However, the pub is operating on a first-come, first-served basis.
4. The Temple Bar, Western Road
After opening some benches outside over the last couple of months, Temple Bar is now welcoming people back inside the spacious building.
Customers can choose a vast array of different drinks as well as some great food. Temple Bar offers some tasty tacos and burritos as well as a roast on Sundays.
5. The Wick Inn, Western Road
The Wick Inn is a standout out pub in Western Road with its brightly painted green brickwork.
Just off Palmeira Square in Hove, the Wick Inn gives people the chance to enjoy a vibrant venue without heading into central Brighton.
