Dundee and Angus pubs inundated with bookings as they prepare to open beer gardens

Beer gardens across Dundee and Angus have been inundated with bookings as pubs prepare to welcome back customers hopeful of sunshine drinking on Monday.

Venues such as Aboukir Hotel, the 19th Hole, and Kinloch Arms in Carnoustie are raring to go, as are watering holes across Dundee.

Many are taking bookings for tables via apps and online and say they have struggled to keep up.

Andrew Mitchell, from Kilted Kangaroo, said the pub’s website crashed after 2,000 people tried to book in over two days at both their Dundee and Stirling pubs.

He said: “Most tables are fully booked, especially for the weekends and through the day during the week.

“Getting beer delivered wasn’t an issue as we have a long-standing relationship with Heineken and they delivered to us on Thursday.

“We have posted guidance for everyone on our Facebook page and can’t wait to reopen.”
Some local premises have said they will not yet reopen, despite having outdoor space.

Greene King-run Riverside Inn in Dundee will reopen on July 15, as will Coast in Arbroath, whereas Beefeater at Discovery Point in Dundee is holding off until July 29.

Meanwhile, a pub boss preparing to open a new outdoor establishment called the Social Distance Inn has said she will review pre-booking arrangements after worrying scenes emerged at the weekend of English streets packed with revellers.

Elsewhere, a large marquee bar and seating for up 60 people has been set up in the car park of the Scone Arms.

All tables and chairs have been set two metres apart and each customer will have their temperature checked as they go in.
