Are pubs open over the May Bank Holiday? | The Sun

04/27/2023

BANK Holidays are a time when plenty head to the pub, but it's worth checking whether your local will be open.

Opening hours can vary across Bank Holidays, but if your pub is part of a chain, they'll usually have opening hours on their website.

Are pubs open for the May Bank Holiday?

Most pubs should be open on May 1 as it's a time when they get a lot of requests for work and family meals.

But some may choose to close to give their staff time off to rest.

If your local pub is independently run they'll dictate their opening hours over the Bank Holiday.

But we look at the opening hours for some of the country's biggest pub chains.

Wetherspoons

Wetherspoons pubs' opening hours vary from boozer to boozer so it's always worth checking ahead to see if your local will be open.

You can do this by using the chain's locator tool on its website, or you can always pick up the phone and call.

We checked out the opening hours of several Wetherspoons pubs online and they are all open on May 1.

It's worth noting opening hours can change, so it's best to call ahead and double-check.

But again, you can check the pub locator on its website which shows you what time your local is open.

Mitchells and Butlers

Mitchells and Butlers own some of the UK's favourite pubs including Harvester and Toby Carvery.

Like Greene King, opening times over the Bank Holiday period vary across M&B's pubs so you should check out either Harvester's or Toby Carvery's websites.

You can use their locator tools to find your nearest pub and the opening times.

You just have to enter your postcode, location or the venue you want to go to.
