Eating out is something we've all missed during lockdown but under Boris Johnson's roadmap for lifting restrictions, the wait is nearly over.
Hospitality venues with an outdoor seating area can reopen outdoor-only from April 12.
This applies to pubs, restaurants and hotels.
Venues with no outdoor space will have to wait until May 17 at the earliest.
As society gets ready for the further easing of lockdown restrictions, we've put together a list of the top 5 restaurants with outdoor seating in Wiltshire, according to TripAdvisor.
