Business has been tough for our local watering holes, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. But from April 26, they’ll finally be allowed to reopen again, serving customers in beer gardens.
Like many hospitality businesses, pubs have had a tough year, so they need all the support they can get.
We asked readers on our Facebook page their favourite establishments in the Falkirk area that they will be visiting as soon as possible. Here’s what they said.
