The beer gardens taking bookings for April in Tooting and Earlsfield

It's getting closer to hospitality reopening for outdoor drinking and dining.

This comes following the Government's unveiling of its roadmap last month.

April 12 marks the day that groups of six people can attend pubs and restaurants offering substantial outdoor seating.

The hospitality industry in Tooting and Earlsfield has been hit hard - and pubs are understandably excited to welcome us back.

Here are some of our brilliant pubs currently open for booking.

The Castle, Tooting

The Castle, situated on Tooting High Street, was first established in 1832.

The pub has a newly renovated beer garden with rain cover, premium huts and heaters.

A spokesperson for the pub said: "Time to wave goodbye to Zoom quizzes, turn off Netflix and join us this spring as we raise a glass to being back together."

The Wandle, Earlsfield

The Wandle, named after the famous river just next door, is a favourite for Earlsfield residents.

The pub has a large beer garden with cover, heating and outdoor screens.

The Wandle wrote on social media: "We endeavour to help you escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, surrounding you in comfort where you can truly kick back and relax."
