THREE more Greene King pubs in Bournemouth and Poole will open their doors in time for the bank holiday weekend.

The Broadway in Castle Lane West and The Commodore at Southbourne Overcliff Drive will re-open along with the Jolly Sailor on Poole Quay on Thursday April 29

Customers are able to book a garden table online, although people are also welcome to visit the pub outdoors without an advance booking.

Greene King chief executive Nick Mackenzie said: “We are really pleased to be able to reopen further pubs outdoors and welcome back more our customers in time for the bank holiday weekend.

"Sadly, we are still not able to open a larger amount of our estate in April, but we know the vital role pubs play in communities and feel it’s important to open as many as we can to help people get back together once again.

"We are still looking forward to Monday May 17 when we will be able to open many more of our pubs, and the all-important return to normality in June when the restrictions are fully removed, and we can start to rebuild our businesses. Until then, we hope for good weather for the bank holiday and onwards."
